Ingredients

Greek Vinaigrette:
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried marjoram or sage or thyme
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Baked Chicken:
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Spinach Salad:
  • 5 ounces baby spinach

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted

Instructions

Make the Dressing:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a small blender and blend until well-combined and creamy. Use immediately or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Bake the Chicken:
  1. Place chicken in a sealable bag or container along with oil, lemon juice, herbs, and sea salt. Seal the bag and move everything around until well-coated. Marinate 15 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  2. When you're ready to bake the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place chicken in a casserole dish.
  3. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to distribute throughout the meat, yielding the most tender result.
  5. Chop the chicken into cubes (Note: you can refrigerate the chicken prior to chopping if you prefer chilled chicken in your salad).
