| 20 g | pecans | |

| Juice of 1 lemon (or 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar) | ||
| 1 | garlic clove + oregano, salt, pepper |
Process
- Season chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper; grill or sear to 165F. Rest, then slice.
- Grate the garlic fine; whisk oil, Dijon, lemon, garlic, and pepper, thinning with water if needed.
- Box the greens, cucumber, chicken, and pecans; keep dressing separate.
- Add apple just before eating.
Note: Omit the apple to keep carbs lower — lemon, Dijon, and pecans carry the flavor.
