Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 pieces Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
Step 3
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 4
Prepare the curry vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, curry powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 5
To assemble the salad, add the sliced chicken and toasted almonds to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.
Step 6
Drizzle the curry vinaigrette over the salad, and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
