A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I headed to our friends' beach house. It was a gorgeous day. We sat on their patio for hours taking in the ocean view. Even though that experience was glorious we couldn't stop thinking about the healthy and refreshing salad we were served for lunch. It was such a treat that we couldn't wait to put together the ingredients and we've literally been enjoying it for lunch every day since. I call this easy because it doesn't require any measurements and can work with many different combinations of ingredients. I like to add fresh fruit and avocado for more texture. Here's what we use to make a large bowl:
Mache lettuce
Arugula
BBQ chicken (we usually cook it the night before)
Roasted Unsalted Almonds (chopped)
Pistachios
Blueberries
Avocado
Parmesan Cheese (we buy the block and cut into cubes)
Lemon & Extra Virgin Olive Oil dressing (1 lemon and equal parts olive oil)
Pepper
Play around with with the amounts to suit your taste. Mix and serve!

I am on a salad kick right now and this sounds so perfectly good. Thanks!
Avocado in salad is the BEST. Love that it means you don't even need salad dressing, just a bit of olive oil & there is still so much flavor & creaminess! Yum!
this looks so light and refreshing. perfect summery meal (:
