Grilled Meat Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 1 pound (450g) grilled chicken breast or beef steak (your choice of meat)
• 4 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, arugula, spinach)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for grilling the meat)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• For the Salad Dressing:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions:

Prepare the Meat:

• If you’re using chicken breasts, season them with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of olive oil. For steak, season with salt, pepper, and your favorite steak seasoning.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the meat for about 6-8 minutes per side for chicken or 4-5 minutes per side for steak, or until fully cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the meat.
• Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Prepare the Salad Ingredients:

• While the meat is grilling, wash and dry your mixed salad greens.
• Slice the cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.

Make the Salad Dressing:

• In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until fully combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Salad:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper.
• Drizzle half of the salad dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
• Top the salad with the sliced grilled meat and crumbled feta cheese.
• Drizzle the remaining dressing on top of the meat and cheese for extra flavor.

Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve the salad immediately as a light lunch or a side dish.
• Garnish with a few fresh herbs or extra feta cheese if desired.
• You can also add a handful of toasted nuts or seeds for an extra crunch!

Optional Variations:

• For Extra Flavor: Add a few slices of avocado or some olives to the salad for added creaminess and richness.
• For a Spicy Kick: Toss in a few slices of jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
• Vegetarian Option: Replace the grilled meat with grilled tofu, tempeh, or roasted chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
