Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Cabbage (mix of purple and white), thinly sliced - 1 cup cooked Quinoa - 1 cup cooked Brown Rice - ½ cup Coriander, chopped - ¼ cup Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped - ¼ cup Mint, chopped - 3 cups Mixed Lettuce - 1 cup Baby Kale Leaves - ½ medium Spanish (purple) Onion - 2 tablespoons Unsalted Roasted Peanuts, chopped - 200 g Chicken Breast - 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder - 2 x inches Butternut Pumpkin, sliced thinly (5mm) - 4 teaspoons Organic Coconut Oil (for cooking) Dressing: - 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar - 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos - 2 x Kaffir Lime Leaves, finely chopped Method:
- Prepare the brown rice and quinoa according to packet and set aside to cool slightly.
- While they are cooking, slice the chicken breast in halves horizontally. - Heat half the coconut oil in a pan and place the chicken in the pan. While it is cooking, lightly dust the top side of the chicken with the turmeric powder. - Cook for approx. 3–4 minutes on one side, then flip and do the same with the other side. (Note: to test if chicken is cooked through, make a small cut through the thickest part of the breast. If there is any pink, continue cooking until completely white.) - Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly then slice into 1cm pieces. - Using the same pan, place the other half of the coconut oil in and add the pumpkin. - Cook on one side for approx. 2–3 minutes and turn over and do the same on the other side. Make sure it doesn’t go too soft. Set aside. - Place all ingredients (except for the dressing ingredients and chopped peanuts) into a bowl and mix through (we used our hands as it was easier). - Combine all dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk until combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and give it one last toss. - Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top and serve
