  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp honey

  • 2 organic chicken breaststrimmed, butterflied and halved; seasoned with pink salt and ground pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk the orange juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and honey until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • Season the chicken breasts with pink salt and ground pepper, then grill them until cooked through. Let rest briefly, then slice into strips.
  • In a large bowl combine the mixed greens, chopped cilantro, orange pieces and Marcona almonds.
  • Drizzle a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat, reserving the remaining dressing for topping.
  • Arrange the sliced chicken over the dressed greens.
  • Spoon a little more vinaigrette over the chicken, sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese across the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • Tip: Store any leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
