I really love this citrus chicken salad – before you screw your nose up to the ingredients I want you to give it a go. You will be surprised!  The combination of the flavours actually work well together, I don’t know how but they just do!

The crunch of the snow pea’s give it a lovely texture, the juiciness from the orange adds a whole new zesty element and the saltiness of the feta is a must!  I’d go as far as saying if you don’t have the feta then don’t make the dish. I think between the orange and the feta, they are the stars of the dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 2 chicken breast
  • 2 sweet navel orange
  • 12 snow peas
  • 1/2 cauliflower
  • 1/2 broccoli
  • 100 g feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. good quality olive oil
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Start by heating oil in a frying pan and grill your chicken.
  2. While that is cooking roughly chop your cauliflower and broccoli and add it to your mixing jug and blitz this for 3 seconds/speed 4 or to your blender jug and blitz 3 secs/medium speed.
  3. Check chicken - make sure it's cooking nicely. Turn if need be.
  4. Cut the peel and pith of your oranges. If you can segment your oranges that will be even better.
  5. Dice snow peas by hand.
  6. In a bowl mix together your cauli/broc mix, snow peas and oranges. Sprinkle through feta cheese.
  7. Once your chicken is cooked sit that aside to cool down. Once it's cold mix through salad.
  8. Now make up your salad dressing in a cup or small bow. Add olive oil, salt, and lemon. Whisk together well.
  9. Mix through salad dressing and serve.
