• Cucumbers, 1 cup
• Ten cups of mixed greens

INGREDIENT NOTES:

PUMPKIN SEEDS:

• You may go for any type of your favorite nuts if you don’t have the seeds of pumpkin. We are using here the pepitas which are also known as the pumpkin seeds. Their incorporation into the salad makes it the healthiest one. The seeds of pumpkins contain many beneficial minerals & vitamins.

CHICKEN:

• We are using the breast of chicken after baking & shredding. You may use the remaining chicken that has been boiled/baked and shredded earlier. This is how you save your time & effort too in making the salad.

AVOCADO:

• The addition of fresh & ripe avocadoes will give you the best taste & many nutrients. You may dice or slice them as you prefer.

BACON:

• We have to include the tender and crumbled bacon in our salad. You may go for any of the methods like microwave, air fryer, or oven.

ONION:

• Cut thin slices of half a moon of onion. You may use any type of onion that you prefer.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING:

• The sauce contains a creamy taste because we have used mayonnaise & sour cream in it. Along with a hand-filled of green and fresh herbs.

CUCUMBERS:

• If you have bought large/normal-sized cucumbers then slice them in half or quarter slices. You could cut the circles more easily. That is why I suggest you always buy fresh & small cucumbers.

WATERMELON RADISHES:

• The radishes resemble too close to watermelons as they also have a green color on them. Their meat is pink from the inside.
