I made this salad as my post-binge damage control meal. Lots of proteins and packed of different flavors. I detest salads, I only eat salad when there’s some kind of fruit in there. This is definitely one of the best salads I’ve made.
This, my friends, is called a dragon fruit. Native to South America but very popular in Asia. To eat a dragon fruit, you slice it in half lengthwise and slice it into dices without cutting through the skin. Then turn the skin inside out, use a spoon to scoop all the little cubes out. It is mildly sweet, kind of bland if you like sweet fruits, tastes a little like melons.
Ingredients:
12 oz skin on chicken breast (that’s because I love the skin, skinless would be perfect too)
1 dragon fruit
1 pack salad greens
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Directions:
- Grill/bake the chicken breast the way you like. I stuffed some garlic and shallot under the skin and baked it
- Dice the dragon fruit and mix those with salad greens
- When the chicken is done cut it into small strips, mix into the salad
- Drizzle red wine vinegar on top
Makes two servings
