Ingredients

  • 250 g chicken breast
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 220 g green beans trimmed
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 1 head green lettuce

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and golden brown.
  • Remove from the pan and allow to rest before slicing.
  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil.
  • Cook the green beans until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and pith from the grapefruit.
  • Cut into segments over a bowl to catch the juice. Reserve the juice for the dressing.
  • Divide the lettuce between serving plates.
  • Top with the green beans, grapefruit segments, and sliced chicken.
  • Drizzle with the reserved grapefruit juice and remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

This salad is easy to customise depending on your preferences.
Try:
  • Adding avocado for extra healthy fats
  • Swapping chicken for turkey breast
  • Using mixed salad leaves instead of lettuce
  • Adding cucumber for extra crunch
  • Topping with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
