High Protein Chopped Italian Salad (130G PROTEIN!!!)
20 mins prepServes 4
For all my protein lovers who enjoy some Italian flavors… you have to try this out! Loving this super chopped salad trend 🙌🏼 The full recipe has 130G protein but there are many servings within the recipe :)
First: Prep your grilled chicken. I used the pesto chicken from Trader Joe’s which was pre-seasoned (~80G protein).
Chop the following ingredients as small as possible:
- 3 romaine lettuce hearts
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1 can of chickpeas (21G protein)
- 1 5oz pack of Parmesan and Asiago cheese blend (30G)
- 1 jar of Kalamata olives
- a large handful of washed basil
- Grilled chicken
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil with the juice of 1 lemon, a drizzle maple syrup and some salt.
Add all ingredients and your dressing to a big bowl, give it a good mix and enjoy!!
