- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cane sugar

Instructions
- Step 1: If cooking the chicken yourself, do so know (this recipe is good for it). Set aside to cool after cooking.
- Step 2: Stir together all of the Italian Vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Set aside.
- Step 3: Dice the cooked and cooled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Place in a small bowl and toss the chicken with the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Add the pistachios and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Shake the pan often to avoid burning. Set aside.
- Step 5: Toss the salad greens in a mixing bowl with a splash of the vinaigrette. Divide into a serving bowl and top with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parmesan, seasoned chicken, and warm pistachios.
- Serve: Drizzle with more vinaigrette, to taste, and enjoy. Any extra vinaigrette can be refrigerated up to 1 week.
