Grilled Chicken & Blueberry Salad
Bright, juicy and full of texture, this salad is a summer showstopper.
What do I need?
For the chicken
- 2 chicken breast fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon (reserve the other half for dressing)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the lemon honey dressing
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the salad
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 80 g feta cheese, crumbled
- A few thin slices of red onion
How do I make it?
- Preheat a barbecue grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thickly.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl or shake in a jar until smooth and well combined.
- Arrange the spinach on a large platter and layer with avocado, blueberries, walnuts, almonds, feta and a few slices of red onion if using. Add the sliced chicken on top, drizzle with the dressing, toss lightly
and serve straight away.
