I eat very little meat (beef, pork, and chicken) and only in the rare occasion I will actually crave something specific. A refreshing, nutritious, mingled up chicken salad is one of those cravings I give into every now and then.
The Chicken
These are chicken breasts, oiled, salted, seared in a hot pan (2 minutes on each side) and finished off in a 180 degree preheated oven (10 minutes). Let them cool down and slice thinly.
The greens
Kale, finely shredded
Lettuce, finely shredded
Coriander leaves, picked by hand
The seeds
Pomegranate seeds
Pickled mustard seeds, very easy to make and store in the pantry forever, I love to use these in salads - recipe link https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2019/06/pickled-mustard-seeds.html
The rest
Red onion, very thinly sliced
Lemon slices, very thinly sliced, blanched for 2 minutes, then tossed with salt, sugar and olive oil, and roasted at 180 degrees for 20 minutes
The dressing
Pomegranate molasses, 1 tsp
Mustard, 1 tsp
Balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp
Apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp
Olive Oil, 10 tsp
Sumac, 1/2 tsp
Salt, to taste
