Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 15.5 oz. canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ red onion (sliced thin)
  • 1 pint baby tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped mint
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 4 oz. feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 8 oz. spring salad mix
  • ½ cup lemon vinaigrette

Instructions

  • If prepping homemade lemon vinaigrette, follow this recipe.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chickpeas, red onion, baby tomatoes, mint and salt. Add 5 Tbsp. of lemon vinaigrette and toss to combine.
  • Add diced avocado and feta, folding gently.
  • Divide salad greens into four bowls. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. of remaining lemon vinaigrette over each bowl of greens. Add ¼ of the chicken mixture to each bowl, taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Enjoy!
