Grilled Chicken Summer Salad
Grilled chicken breast and a creamy avocado-Parmesan dressing pair well with crunchy lettuce and smoky grilled vegetables in a light yet satisfying summer salad.
The recipe
Preheat a cast-iron grill or skillet.
Cut the chicken breast into 1 cm thick slices and season them with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through but still tender.
Continue with the cherry tomatoes and the peppers.
Grill them until lightly charred on all sides, season with a pinch of salt and let rest for a few minutes in a covered bowl.
The dressing
In a blender combine half of the grilled peppers and cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Blend for about 1 minute at medium-low speed until smooth and creamy.
Assemble
Arrange the lettuce on a large serving plate.
Add the remaining grilled tomatoes and peppers and distribute them evenly.
Cut the grilled chicken into 1 cm wide strips and arrange them over the salad.
Drizzle with the dressing.
Enjoy.
