Paleo and Whole30 Strawberry Avocado Kale Salad
Ingredients
- 12 oz. chicken breast
- 1 tsp. avocado oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 c. kale chopped and large stems removed
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 c. sliced strawberries
- 1/2 c. Strawberry Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Heat grill to high heat.
- Rinse and dry chicken breast.
- Place it between two sheets of parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Using tongs, place the chicken on the grill and grill on high for three minutes on each side.
- Flip once more with tongs and lower the heat. Grill until chicken reaches a internal temperature of 165°F. I use this digital instant-read thermometer.
- Remove the chicken and set aside while preparing the salad.
- Layer the kale, avocado and strawberries in bowls. Slice the chicken and add to the bowls.
- Drizzle with Strawberry Vinaigrette dressing and serve.

I actually split the salad three ways in these cute glass Pyrex meal prep containers and took them to work. Just save the dressing until right before eating!
