The secret to a great salad is in the prep. In this 20-minute dish, sautéed chicken is coated in a creamy sunflower seed butter and avocado oil mayo dressing before being tossed with crisp romaine lettuce and sweet apple pieces. Adding the dressing to the chicken ensures the meat is completely covered with the smooth, homemade sauce. Plus, it keeps the lettuce crisp! The dressing is so simple and satisfying, we think you’ll find yourself adding it to other meals too, like over these black bean burger patties or with this crunchy turmeric chicken tender salad.
