Instructions
- First prepare the dressing. It will yield more than you need (I normally try to make simpler recipes) but you can store it for a few days in the fridge and use it as a dip or dressing on other salads.
- Put the avocado, non-fat greek yogurt, honey, ground sage, salt, water and lime juice in a small blender or Bullet. Process until smooth.¼ avocado, 1 tablespoon non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, ½ teaspoon ground sage, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon lime juice

- Heat a grill pan on medium-high. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt, pepper and sage.Kosher salt for sprinkling, Pepper, Ground sage for sprinkling
- Spray the grill pan with non-stick spray and pan fry them about 4-5 minutes a side until they are no longer pink in the middle. I always cut one to check.
- Pull the cutlets off the heat when done and let them rest.
- Prepare the Salad by tossing the kale, cucumber, avocado and dried cranberries with about 3 tablespoons of the dressing.2 cups baby kale, 1 small cucumber, ¾ avocado, 2 tablespoon dried cranberries
