1 small cos lettuce, roughly chopped
2-3 kale leaves, roughly chopped

Method
Grill the chicken on a BBQ, in a griddle pan or regular pan (using a few dashes of premium EVOO) until cooked through, then roughly chop and set aside to cool.
Assemble the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the kale, then olive oil, then lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, chicken, croutons, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, and generously drizzle with quick and easy dressing. Season with salt and pepper, top with parmesan.
For the dressing: simply mix 1/4 cup of Olea Prilis Adorabile extra virgin olive oil, a goodly splash of white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, a crushed garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard and a pinch of turmeric. (Option: a mashed anchovy fillet or two.)
Any unused dressing can go in the fridge.
