10/13/2020 Cava-Style Mediterranean Chicken SaladThere are a few restaurants we've been picking up from on repeat during quarantine, and Cava is one that's in our constant rotation. Have you been? If not, imagine a healthy, Mediterranean-style Chipotle. You can build your own bowl or salad, load it up with hummus and your favorite sauces, stack up tons of toppings, pick a protein, add a dressing, and you've got the perfect filling lunch or dinner. I decided to recreate my Cava order at home, complete with my fave Lemon Tahini Dressing, and share it here for you to enjoy too! It's a giant entrée salad that's loaded with healthy ingredients, so much texture and crunch (a must in my salads!), and the perfect creamy dressing that gets tons of extra flavor when tossed together with the hummus. So yummy! Ingredients For the salad: 4 cups spring mix 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 medium sweet potato, sliced into 1/4-inch cubes 1 tbsp avocado oil 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved Sprinkle of feta A couple sprigs of fresh dill, roughly chopped 3 tbsp your favorite hummus (I love this one!) For the chicken: 2 organic chicken breasts 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tbsp avocado oil For the dressing: 1 tbsp tahini Juice from 1/2 lemon 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp water 1 garlic clove, chopped Salt & pepper to taste Serves 4-5.

This salad was so good. I made it for lunch yesterday. I used rotisserie chicken breast and warmed it up with seasoning. It was so good. I love the dressing.
