How to Prepare Your Chicken Salad

Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper and sweet paprika.

Cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat for approximately 6–8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the centre reaches 75°C.

Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 2 – Prepare the Fresh Vegetables

Wash and dry the salad leaves.

Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, grate the carrot and finely slice the red pepper and onion.

Cut the avocado just before serving.

Step 3 – Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the Biopurus Tomato Seed Oil, lemon juice, mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.

Add a little water if you prefer a lighter consistency.

Step 4 – Assemble and Enjoy

Arrange the vegetables in two bowls, add the sliced chicken and sprinkle with crunchy seeds.

Drizzle the tomato seed oil dressing over the salad just before serving.
