Ingredients
- - 2 cups of kale (chopped and massaged with lemon)
- - 6 leaves of romaine lettuce (chopped)
- - 12 cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- - 2 mini Persian cucumbers (chopped)
- - 1 medium cucumber (chopped)
- - 1/2 red onion (sliced)
- - 1/2 cup of parsley (finely chopped)
- - 3 tablespoons of kalamata olives (chopped)
- - 1/3 cup of roasted bell peppers (chopped)
- - 2/3 cup of cooked farro (cooled/chilled)
- - 150g of cooked chicken breast (seasoned to taste)
- - quinoa crisps (instead of croutons) (optional)
Instructions
- 1.Prep the kale by stripping the leaves from the core and then gently massaging it with a little spray oil or fresh lemon. This will soften the kale so that it is more palatable.
- 2.Add all ingredients to a bowl and gently toss together.
- 3.If this is for meal prep, keep the garnish and dressing separate until ready to eat. I like using quinoa crisps as a gluten-free “crunch” alternative to toasted bread.
- 4.Enjoy with your favorite salad dressing, like this creamy hi-protein dressing or a spicy Ranch version, which pretty much makes everything taste a little better!
