Kitchen Sink Salad
I’ve
got a good one for you today! It’s a DELICIOUS, no-cook lunch or
dinner recipe.
CONFESSION:
I stole this idea from chef Guy Fieri. Except I mixed it up a bit to
make it:
Healthier,
Heartier, and
Just as delicious.
It’s
called the Kitchen Sink Salad because you can put basically anything
you want in it.
Feel
free to make it your own because you really can’t go wrong. If you
have other veggies in the fridge, add ‘em!
Some
leftover roasted sweet potatoes would be really good. Or sprinkle on
some dried cranberries! Yum.
To
make it vegan, swap some crispy tofu or quinoa for the chicken.

Sink Salad
(makes
2-3 large salad servings)
For the dressing:
Handful of fresh basil or
parsley
½ cup (120 ml) balsamic
vinegar
Juice of ½ lemon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt
Dash of freshly ground
pepper
½ cup (120 ml) extra
virgin olive oil
For the salad:
1 (12 oz) (340 grams)
package mixed baby salad greens
1 medium cucumber, peeled,
cut in half, and diced
1 large tomato, diced
½ - ¾ cup (85 grams)
chopped cooked chicken
1 cup (260 grams) rinsed &
drained cannellini beans
12 black olives, pitted
and halved (optional) (can swap for avocado!)
2 tbsp pecans or walnuts,
chopped
2 tbsp goat cheese
Make the dressing:
Place all the dressing ingredients except olive oil in a high-speed blender. Pulse until combined. Turn on the blender and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. Pour into a container and keep in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. (You’ll have leftovers!)
Make the salad:
In a large bowl, toss together the salad greens, cucumber, tomato, chicken, beans, and olives. Add the dressing right before you’re ready to eat it. Top with the nuts & goat cheese.
