Ingredients
Salad
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- ½ head bib lettuce
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup fresh dill
- 1 English cucumber sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese optional
Chicken
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- ¼ cup olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional

Cilantro Yogurt Dressing
- ½ cup fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Make the Dressing: Blend all the salad dressing ingredients together in a blender or small food processor until smooth and creamy, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with the marinade, keeping a tablespoon of oil for the skillet. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until both sides are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the heat, allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Prepare the vegetables and place in a large salad bowl. Add the chicken strips on top. Pour the cilantro yogurt dressing over.
- Toss well until all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
