Grilled Chicken & Blueberry Salad

Serves 2

30 mins

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?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
