Make avocado the star of the show in this vibrant chicken salad, with lettuce, green apples, celery, cucumber and a creamy dressing.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts all over and fry for 7-8 mins each side, covering with a lid for the final 5 mins until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 10 mins, then slice.
Step 2
For the dressing, tip one of the avocado, yoghurt, chives, dill, parsley, spring onions, rice vinegar, olive oil, garlic and a generous squeeze of lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blitz until finely chopped and emulsified. Season to taste, adding more lemon juice if you like. Add cold water 1 tbsp at a time until the dressing has a drizzling consistency.
Step 3
Stir half of the dressing together with the cooked chicken slices. Toss the sliced celery, lettuce leaves , sliced radishes, sliced apple and sliced cucumber together and arrange on a serving platter. Dot the remaining chopped avocado and as much of the remaining dressing over the top as you like, along with the chicken. Finely grate a little lemon zest over and grind over some black pepper to serve.
