2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (preferably rotisserie or grilled)

1 cup mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and baby kale)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ avocado, diced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If you haven't already, shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix the Greens: Add the mixed greens to the bowl with the shredded chicken.

      Add Vegetables: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced avocado.

        Incorporate Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese for a creamy texture that balances the freshness of the salad.

          Mix the Herbs: In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, dill, and basil. Add this herb mixture to the salad for a burst of flavor.

            Prepare the Dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust ingredients based on your flavor preference.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Use tongs to gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

                Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust seasoning and dressing according to your liking.

                  Serve: Serve the herb-infused chicken salad immediately on chilled plates for a refreshing meal.
