Ingredients

Salad

  • 6 cups chopped lettuce such as romaine or red leaf
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 3 radishes thinly sliced
  • ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber diced

Lemony Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional

Tahini Dressing

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons warm water to thin
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • pinch cayenne
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place salad ingredients (lettuce through cucumber) in a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together chicken breast cubes with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and chili flakes; set aside and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the tahini dressing ingredients (tahini through salt and pepper.) If the mixture is thick, add a little more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until you reach desired consistency.
  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken breast cubes to the pan and saute until golden brown, about 7-9 minutes.
  • To assemble salads, divide salad between four bowls and top with cooked chicken cubes and drizzle with tahini dressing.
