Prepare the base: In a large bowl, layer the chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, orange chunks, and radish slices. This forms the foundation of your salad, creating a colorful and nutrient-packed base.
Add the protein: Place the sliced grilled chicken on one side of the salad and arrange the avocado slices on the other. This not only makes the salad visually appealing but also ensures each bite has a perfect combination of protein and healthy fats.
Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice (or orange juice), honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. The honey and mustard add a subtle sweetness and tang, while the lemon juice (or orange juice) provides a citrusy zing.
Drizzle & serve: Pour the dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine, ensuring that the dressing coats all of the fresh vegetables and proteins. Finally, sprinkle the salad with hemp or sesame seeds for a touch of crunch and extra nutrition.
