  • 2 cups grapes halved

  • 3 cups curly lettuce chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Sauté chicken until cooked through and golden on both sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the fruits and vegetables: halve grapes, chop lettuce, and wash blueberries. Once chicken is cool enough, cut into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken, grapes, blueberries, lettuce, feta, and almonds. Chill in refrigerator.
  • Make the dressing by blending almond butter, olive oil, orange juice, water, mustard, honey, salt, and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Drizzle dressing over the salad before serving.

Notes

This salad is great for meal prep; just add dressing right before serving to keep it fresh and crisp. Nut allergy substitution: replace almonds and almond butter with sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter.
