Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry produce.

  2. 2

    Trim and slice cucumber into ½-inch-thick rounds.

  3. 3

    Place chicken on a microwave-safe plate; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until warmed through, 90 seconds. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into ½-inch pieces.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, half the mustard, half the garlic powder, and 1 TBSP olive oil (use all the mustard, all the garlic powder, and 2 TBSP olive oil for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Add chicken to the bowl with dressing; toss to coat.

  6. 6

    Add mixed greens, cucumber, carrots, and half the croutons to bowl and toss until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Divide salad between shallow bowls. Top with remaining croutons and serve.
