INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions and let it cool.

STEP 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and the remaining olive oil to make the dressing.

STEP 3: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil and cook the chicken breast for about 6-8 minutes per side, until it's cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.

STEP 4: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, basil leaves, and sliced chicken.

STEP 5: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together to ensure it's well-coated.

STEP 6: Top the salad with thinly sliced avocado.

STEP 7: To finish, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the salad for extra flavor.
