Summer salad with chicken and blueberries topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Salad
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil to drizzle
- 4 ears of fresh corn (or 2 large)
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill + extra for serving
- 3 stalks celery (inner light green stalks with leaves), finely diced
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1.5 cups blueberries
Refueling
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta, plus extra for serving
- 1/4 cup light cream (10%)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 head of lettuce, leaves separated
Preparation:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until the chicken is 0.5 cm thick. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the grill and drizzle with olive oil. Grill the chicken on both sides until cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the chops halfway through to create beautiful grill marks. Set aside and let cool.
- Grill the corn for a few minutes until tender and crispy. Using a very sharp knife, cut the kernels off each cob. Combine the corn in a large bowl with the dill, celery, and onion.
- For refuelingIn a bowl, combine feta, light cream, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Add sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir and taste. Add more salt if needed; season generously!
- Slice the chicken diagonally into flat, randomly shaped pieces. Toss into a bowl with the celery, onion, and corn. Toss to distribute evenly. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Add more dressing if desired, but don't over-wet the salad; it should be light! Finally, stir in the blueberries to coat them lightly.
- Place the salad in lettuce leaves and sprinkle each serving with crumbled feta and dill. If you're in a festive mood, serve with champagne!
