Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 267kcal
Equipment
- Forks or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 2 skinless chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken*
- 1 stalk of celery diced
- 4 radishes diced
- 2 green onions diced
- 2 tablespoon parsley diced
For the oil-based dressing
- 6 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Slice your chicken breasts into 2-3 pieces. Heat olive oil in your skillet and use tongs to place the chicken pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side, adjusting the time if your chicken breasts are larger in size. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165F at their deepest point.
- Once the chicken has cooled, shred with two forks or use the appropriate attachment of a stand mixer.
- Dice the celery and radishes into small pieces, slice the green onion and finely dice the parsley.
- Combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, honey, turmeric, sweet paprika, salt and black pepper in a jar that can be sealed. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
- Add the shredded chicken to a large bowl, and tip in the salad vegetables and herbs. Drizzle about half the dressing into the bowl, toss the salad, taste test, then add more dressing to preference. Spoon onto your serving plate.
Notes
*I suggest that my low histamine readers would likely be best to use fresh chicken they cook themselves rather than rotisserie chicken.
- Slice the chicken breasts into 2-3 pieces for a quicker cook time.
- Adjust the dressing with more spices or garlic to taste preference. Fresh garlic can also be used if you prefer.
- You may not use all the dressing. Drizzle on about half, mix the salad, then add more to preference.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
