Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard

1/3 cup almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
1 pear, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest chicken, fruits, and spinach you can find. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your salad.
  • Choose a Variety of Fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits in your salad. Berries, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits all add unique flavors and textures.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A heavy dressing can weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. Opt for a light vinaigrette or a simple dressing made with lemon juice and olive oil.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad lightly with just enough dressing to coat the ingredients.
  • Serve Immediately: Salads are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately and toss it with the salad just before serving.
