This Healthy Summer Salad Bowl is fresh, colorful, and full of vibrant summer flavors. I combine crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, sweet strawberries, grilled chicken, and a homemade lemon honey dressing to create a refreshing and satisfying meal perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup grilled chicken, sliced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
  2. Chop the romaine lettuce and prepare all fresh ingredients.
  3. Grill the chicken until fully cooked, then slice into strips.
  4. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Add lettuce, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries, avocado, onion, corn, chicken, feta cheese, and sunflower seeds into a large salad bowl.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
  7. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  8. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • Keep the dressing separate until serving for the freshest texture.
  • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Replace chicken with chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
  • Add quinoa or brown rice for a heartier meal.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
