Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts and grill the chicken until fully cooked and no longer pink.
Place all the salad dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender or jar wide enough to fit an immersion blender.
Blend everything until it's fully combined.
In a large bowl, toss the salad greens, green onion, mandarin oranges, 1/4 cup of cilantro, bell pepper, and shredded carrots. Make sure everything is thoroughly combined and divide between two bowls.
Top each salad with almonds, alfalfa sprouts, and sliced chicken breast. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and serve with additional dressing on the side.
