- 4 oz sweet baby mix salad greens
- 5 oz cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Grill the chicken. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook on the grill or in a grill pan over medium-high heat, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil loosely and let rest until ready to cut.
Blend the dressing. Add the Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and salt to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
Layer the salad. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by tomatoes, shredded carrots, beets, and goat cheese. Top with grilled chicken and avocado slices. Serve with the yogurt dressing and almond slices if desired.
