Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger

For the basil-herb sauce

2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled
⅓ cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp fine sea salt

For the salad

6 cups mixed salad greens
1 english cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp fine sea salt

For serving

2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, turmeric, and ginger, turning to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
While the chicken marinates, make the basil-herb sauce: combine the basil, parsley, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and bright green, scraping down the sides once. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Set aside.
