Cherie Metcalfe
12 Days of Christmas
This is a beautiful, fresh, fragrant take on a green salad for Christmas. The sweet and spicy honey can be added to taste. Adding the vinaigrette to the greens balances this delicious salad perfectly.
Ingredients
- 600g chicken tenderloins
- 2 tbsp Sweet Sesh
- 250g halloumi
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
- 1 -2 avocados
- Greens of your choice
- 2 oranges
- 15g fresh mint
Dressing
- Use Long Lunch Dressing if you have it, if not mix
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Pinch of Man Grind
- Sweet Sesh to taste
Directions
- Marinade the chicken tenderloins in 1 tablespoon Sweet Sesh and a splash of oil. Season with a pinch of Man Grind, toss well, and grill on the BBQ till cooked through. About 8 minutes, turning regularly. Alternatively, a grill pan works well too. Set aside to cool.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avo. Remove the zest from the orange and reserve, peel the orange, and segment the flesh.
- Fry off the halloumi when you are almost ready to serve; you want it nicely coloured on the outside and melty in the middle.
- Toss greens with dressing and season with Man Grind.
- Layer on a platter: greens, chicken, halloumi, cherry tomatoes, avocado, orange segments, and shredded fresh mint, then drizzle with a little extra hot honey. Try to get two or three layers of everything, then garnish the platter with the orange zest and extra shredded mint.
