I love Greek salads with chicken. The flavors and the mix of textures are just perfect, and serving it with homemade einkorn sourdough is even better. So naturally, I love to make it at home with whole food ingredients!
Ingredients and Benefits:
Extra-virgin olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation
Lemon juice: Rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and minerals for skin health
Red wine vinegar: Can help regulate blood sugar levels and contains polyphenols that help reduce inflammation
Dijon mustard: Rich in antioxidants from vinegar and spices that protect cells and promote digestion
Garlic: Helps protect cells from oxidative damage, supports the immune system, and can help reduce blood pressure
Pasture-raised chicken: Contains 50% more vitamin A, three times the amount of omega-3s, and is more sustainable. I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off)
Lettuce: Rich in water, fiber, and contains vitamins for overall function
Bell pepper: Rich in vitamins and fiber to protect against disease. Try buying different colors for different nutrients!
