Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing: olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese (if using).
Add the grilled chicken and diced avocado on top of the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute the grilled chicken for grilled shrimp, tofu, or another protein of your choice.
For a low-carb version, skip the feta cheese or use a lighter dressing option.

If you prefer a more substantial meal, you can add quinoa, brown rice, or roasted sweet potatoes.
