2 servings SERVINGS

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, or 1 (12-ounce) piece wild salmon (for a vegetarian alternative, substitute 1⁄2 cup cooked chickpeas)
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1⁄2 cucumber, grated
  • 1 beet, grated
  • 2 cups bean sprouts, washed
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
  • Juice of 1⁄2 grapefruit
  • Pinch of unrefined sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 avocado, halved and sliced

Directions

  • In a covered skillet over medium heat, pan-fry chicken or salmon, adding water as necessary. Cook 10 minutes on each side for chicken and 5 minutes on each side for salmon.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix carrot, cucumber and beet. Add bean sprouts and mint. Set aside.
  • In a jar with a lid, mix grapefruit juice, salt and oil. Secure the lid and shake vigorously. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss.
  • To serve, divide vegetable mixture between 2 plates. Cut chicken or salmon in half and place 1 piece atop each plate. (Alternatively, add the chilled or gently warmed chickpeas to the vegetable mixture.) Top each plate with half of the avocado.
