Bursting with Mediterranean flavours with a dressing that doubles as a marinade! Wholesome, delicious bowl of yum!
​
For this particular bowl I teamed up with awesome Chantal organics to use their incredible raw Apple cider vinegar! Bursting with flavour.

Get your hands on this recipe for week night goodness! 

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes 
Total time : 25 minutes 
Servings: 4 people


Marinade/Dressing:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon (1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tsp dried or fresh basil
  • 2 tsp garlic , minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • cracked pepper , to taste
  • 500 g skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets (or chicken breasts)


Salad:
  • 4 cups Romaine (or Cos) lettuce leaves, rocket washed and dried
  • 1 large cucumber diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives (or black olives), sliced (optional)
  • Lemon wedges to serve




What to Do:
  1. Whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a large jug. Pour out half of the marinade into a large, shallow dish. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later.
  2. Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl; marinade chicken for 15-30 minutes (or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows). While waiting for the chicken, prepare all of the salad ingredients and mix in a large salad bowl.
  3. Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or a grill plate over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through.
  4. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining UNTOUCHED dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes:
* Add 1/2 cup crumbled feta to give the salad an even better flavour!
​
Enjoy!

    the lows, the hope and despair that comes with
    being an Olympic athlete, how these have shaped
    my journey to health, the love I have for food again,
