Instructions
Step 1: Start by arranging the fresh romaine lettuce as the base of your bowl.
Step 2: Add the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots around the lettuce.
Step 3: Place the roasted chicken drumsticks in the center of your salad bowl.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a simple vinaigrette.
Step 5: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and chicken just before serving.
Step 6: Top with parmesan or feta cheese if desired, then enjoy immediately.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover roasted drumsticks separately from the salad greens in airtight containers. The greens will stay fresh for up to 2 days, while the chicken keeps for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
To reheat, warm the drumsticks in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until heated through. Keep your salad greens chilled and add them fresh just before eating.
For meal prep, assemble all your components in separate containers and combine them only when you’re ready to eat. This keeps everything fresh and crisp throughout the week.
