Green Goddess Salad
Description
We're leaving out the mayo and sour cream in favor of fat-free plain yogurt, but we're not losing any of the flavor. Fresh herbs and garlic give the dressing punch. Edamame, avocado, and pistachios add interest and texture. Plus a healthy helping of shredded chicken breast makes this a high-protein lunchtime winner. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, gently pound chicken to an even thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.
-
Heat oil in medium-sized skillet over medium heat until just smoking. Brown chicken well on first side, about 3 minutes. Flip chicken, add 2 tablespoons water, and cover skillet. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate and let cool slightly. Using 2 forks or your fingers, shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
-
Combine lemon zest, juice and garlic in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon water, parsley, tarragon, remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon pepper; set aside. (Add extra water for a looser dressing.)
-
Toss spinach with half of the dressing to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with shredded chicken, edamame, avocado, and pistachios and drizzle with remaining dressing.
