In a medium-sized bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime or lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper, and minced garlic.

Toast the Bread:
Heat a small amount of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the whole wheat bread triangles and toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside. -
Grill the Chicken:
Using the same skillet, add a bit more unsalted butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast fillet to the skillet. Grill the chicken for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and the outside is nicely browned. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry and tough. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. -
Assemble the Salad:
Cut the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the bowl of mixed vegetables. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure everything is well coated. -
