Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups fresh fennel thinly sliced; I use a mandoline (one large bulb)
- 1 cup Sweet Vadalia Onion thinly sliced; I use a mandoline
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cucumbers thinly sliced; I use local ones, organic
- 1 medium fresh peach thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups grilled marinated chicken sliced: Use Karen's Lemon-Oregano Marinade & Technique (see recipe)
- 1/2 cup lemon-oregano dressing (from marinade) see notes
Garnishes:
- 2 tablespoons fennel fronds (looks like dill!)
- 1 tablespoon mix of small basil leaves and fresh oregano leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Make Karen's Lemon-Oregano Marinade. Marinate 2 chicken breasts or 6 chicken tenderloins for 2 hours. Remove and set aside marinade; grill chicken until done. When cool, slice chicken on the diagonal 1/2" thick. Gently reheat marinade - bring to a boil, then simmer - low heat, 2 minutes - THIS is your salad dressing! Cool. Set aside.
- To a large bowl or individual plates, add: thinly sliced fennel, sweet onions and cucumbers.
- Clean and dry the peach,; cut in half remove pit and slice thinly - add to the salad. Add the sliced chicken on top.
- Whisk the reserved dressing and drizzle all over the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds, basil & oregano. (Add edible flowers if you like.)
Notes
Once the chicken is marinated and grilled ~ recipe will take approximately 15 minutes to complete!
