  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese or feta
  • 1/4 cup roasted, salted pistachios

  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 6 tablespoons avocado oil (you can use olive oil as well)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

What you do: 

  1. Salt and pepper the chicken (or marinated it in a couple tablespoons of dressing) and grill until done. Let rest for 10 minutes and chop into cubes. 
  2. While the chicken is grilling, chop and/or prepare your salad ingredients.
  3. Mix salad ingredients together, pour salad dressing on and top with the grilled chicken. 

Enjoy!
