Ingredients
2 cups mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup pre-cooked shredded chicken
1 1/2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola cheese
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk together until emulsified to form a vinaigrette.
Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl or on a serving plate.
Arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes over the greens.
Top with the shredded pre-cooked chicken.
Sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola cheese evenly over the salad.
Drizzle the prepared lemon-mustard vinaigrette over the entire salad.
Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the dressing coats the greens evenly. Serve immediately.
Comments
Gorgonzola is your real constraint: Harris Teeter and Food Lion carry it reliably in the specialty cheese case, but it's not a pantry staple and will run $8–12 per pound, making this a pricey single-serving salad even if you buy the smallest wedge. The 20-minute claim holds only if your chicken is already cooked; raw chicken adds real time, and the recipe should say so. All other ingredients are standard at any Charlotte chain. This works as a composed lunch for someone who has leftover cooked chicken and doesn't mind spending on cheese, but it's not a weeknight family meal and won't reheat.
