Ingredients List –
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for two servings:
Fresh Hydroponic Greens (from TechieKisan)
2 cups of mixed hydroponic lettuce (romaine, iceberg, or red leaf)
1 handful of hydroponic basil leaves
2 tablespoons of hydroponic parsley, finely chopped
Protein
1 medium-sized chicken breast, grilled or boiled, cut into cubes
Other Veggies
Slice 1 small cucumber.
Dice 1 small tomato.
Thinly slice 1 small onion.
½ cup bell peppers (red or yellow), chopped
Salad Dressing
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: A pinch of mustard or honey for added flavor
Step-by-Step Preparation –
Step 1: Wash and Prepare the Hydroponic Greens
Start by washing all your TechieKisan hydroponic produce under cold water. Even though hydroponic vegetables are grown without soil, it’s always good to rinse them lightly to remove any dust.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Gently tear or chop the basil.
- Finely chop the parsley.
Tip: Use a salad spinner or pat the greens dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove extra water. This keeps your salad crisp.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
If you haven’t already cooked the chicken, follow these quick steps:
- Take 1 chicken breast, season it lightly with salt and pepper.
- Grill it on a pan with a teaspoon of olive oil until golden brown on both sides (about 5–6 minutes per side).
- Let it cool, then cut into cubes or shred with a fork.
You can also boil the chicken if you prefer a lighter option.
Step 3: Chop the Additional Veggies
While the chicken is cooling, chop the cucumber, tomato, onion, and bell peppers. These veggies add crunch, color, and nutrition to your salad.
Step 4: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine the following:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- (Optional) Add a pinch of mustard or a few drops of honey
Mix well until the dressing is smooth and slightly thick.
Step 5: Assemble the Salad
Now comes the fun part – putting it all together!
- In a large mixing bowl, add the hydroponic lettuce, basil, and parsley.
- Add the chopped cucumber, tomato, onion, and bell peppers.
- Toss in the grilled chicken pieces.
- Pour the dressing over the top.
- Gently toss everything using two large spoons or your clean hands.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with extra basil or parsley if desired.
You can also serve it with:
- A slice of multigrain bread
- A cup of fresh juice
