Ingredients:

• 1 boneless chicken breast
• 2 slices honeydew melon
• 1/2 spring onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2-inch cucumber, sliced
• 1 cup seedless black grapes
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 dashes black pepper
• Mayonnaise (as needed)
• Blue cheese (as needed)
• Paprika (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Salad Base:

   • Arrange salad leaves on two serving plates, creating a bed for the salad.

2. Cook Chicken:

   • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
   • In a pan over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

3. Assemble Salad:

   • Place the cooked chicken slices on top of the salad leaves.

4. Prepare Fruit and Vegetables:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine sliced honeydew melon, spring onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and seedless black grapes. Season with salt and black pepper, tossing gently to combine.

5. Add Fruit Mixture:

   • Spoon the fruit and vegetable mixture over the chicken, ensuring even distribution.

6. Prepare Dressing:

   • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with crumbled blue cheese until well combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

7. Drizzle Dressing:

   • Drizzle a generous spoonful of the blue cheese dressing over each portion of the salad, allowing it to cascade over the chicken and fruit.

8. Garnish and Serve:

   • Sprinkle paprika over the salads for a hint of color and flavor.
   • Serve the Chicken, Honeydew, and Grape Salad immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures!
