Lemon juice adds brightness and is often available.

Chop larger ingredients like avocado, green onions, and tarragon leaves for the dressing.

Place miracle whip, avocado, tarragon leaves, green onions, parsley, watercress, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, salt, and pepper into a food processor.

Blend the dressing for about 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and well blended.

Season chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides, pressing the seasoning into the flesh.

Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Chop red onion into long thin slices and slice cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise.

Cook the chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat until cooked through, tossing to cook evenly.

In a bowl, combine half of the lettuce mix, onion, and tomato.

Add half of the diced chicken on top of the lettuce mix.

Sprinkle feta cheese on top and drizzle with salad dressing.
