Scale

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 3 marinated artichoke hearts
  • 12 Tablespoons artichoke marinade

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 oz. feta (I suggest marinated feta – recipe here)
  • 1/21 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for more flavor, use the oil from the marinated feta)

Per serving of salad:

  • About 2 cups salad mix (romaine, red cabbage, matchstick carrots, chopped bell peppers, sweet onion)
  • 12 breaded chicken tenders or nuggets, cooked and sliced – or leftover chicken, chopped
  • 1/3 of an avocado, sliced or cut into chunks
  • 35 marinated artichoke hearts, chopped if desired
  • A small handful of fresh, sweet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh basil leaves (and flowers if you have them)
  • 13 cubes marinated feta cheese (recipe here) – or crumbled feta
  • 12 Tablespoons chopped smokehouse almonds (or nuts of choice)

Instructions

  1. Put all the dressing ingredients into a small blender cup or mini food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make a salad mix by tossing together romaine, chopped red cabbage, matchstick carrots, chopped bell peppers and thin sliced sweet onion. Line your salad bowl(s) liberally with the mix.
  3. Top with chopped chicken, avocado, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with basil leaves, feta, and almonds. 
  4. Serve with the dressing and enjoy!
