Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil good quality
- 1 lime zested, juiced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon pure honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Salad
- 200 grams chicken breast
- 1 red capsicum sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 avocado sliced
- lettuce
Instructions
- COMBINE all the ingredients for the marinade in a jug. Pour half of it into a shallow bowl to marinate the chicken, while saving half of it for the dressing. Chill the saved dressing.
- MARINATE the chicken for at least an hour or two. You may also do this the night before and have it marinate overnight for best results.
- GRILL the marinated chicken with some olive oil on a heated grill pan. Make sure the chicken is at room temperature if ever you marinated it overnight. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces, or until it's cooked all the way through. Once chicken is done, set aside. Grill for a few minutes the red capsicums and the asparagus for about 3-4 minutes, just enough to get a good char on them.
- ASSEMBLE the lettuce, tomatoes, grilled veggies, and sliced avocados on a salad bowl. SLICE the grilled chicken and top it on the veggies. POUR the chilled dressing over the salad. Season more with salt and pepper as desired.
