For the Salad Base
  • 1 heart of romaine, chopped
  • 1 ripe peach or nectarine, sliced (grilled or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, chopped

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

  1. Season chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Grill or pan-sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.

  3. Layer romaine on a large plate or bowl. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, avocado, and peaches. Add the sliced grilled chicken on top.
