Ingredients

Scale

  • For the Salad:

    • 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, romaine, or kale)
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • ½ cucumber, sliced
    • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
    • ½ avocado, diced
    • ¼ cup feta or goat cheese (optional)
    • ½ cup chickpeas or grilled chicken (for protein)
    • 2 tablespoons pumpkin or sunflower seeds (for crunch & healthy fats)

  • For the Dressing (Low-Calorie & Tasty!):

    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon honey (or omit for keto)
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, cheese (if using), and chickpeas or grilled chicken.
  • Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
  • Top with Seeds: Sprinkle pumpkin or sunflower seeds over the salad for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours for a meal prep option.

Notes

  • You can swap the avocado for another healthy fat like olive oil if you prefer.
  • For an extra protein boost, you can add grilled chicken, tofu, or even some quinoa.
  • The salad keeps well in the fridge for a day, but if you plan to store it, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
