Turmeric Chicken & Kale Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ghee

  or 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ½ medium brown onion

  diced
• 250-300 g chicken mince

  or diced up chicken thighs (9 oz.)
• 1 large clove garlic

  finely diced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• Juice of ½ lime
• ½ teaspoon salt + pepper
• 6 broccolini stalks

  or 2 cups of broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

  pepitas
• 3 large leaves kale

  stems removed and chopped
• ½ avocado

  sliced
• Handful of fresh coriander leaves

  chopped
• Handful of fresh parsley leaves

  chopped
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 small clove garlic

  finely diced or grated
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  I used 1 tablespoons avocado oil and 2 tablespoons EVO
• 1 teaspoon raw honey
• ½ teaspoon wholegrain mustard

  or Dijon
• ½ teaspoon sea salt and pepper

Instructions

• 1 Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add
  the onion and sauté on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until golden. Add the chicken
  mince and garlic and stir for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat, breaking it
  apart.
• 2 Add the turmeric, lime zest, lime juice, salt and pepper and cook, stirring
  frequently, for a further 3-4 minutes. Set the cooked mince aside.
• 3 While the chicken is cooking, bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Add the
  broccolini and cook for 2 minutes. Rinse under cold water and cut into 3-4
  pieces each.
• 4 Add the pumpkin seeds to the frying pan from the chicken and toast over medium
  heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Season with a little
  salt. Set aside. Raw pumpkin seeds are also fine to use.
• 5 Place chopped kale in a salad bowl and pour over the dressing. Using your hands,
  toss and massage the kale with the dressing. This will soften the kale, kind of
  like what citrus juice does to fish or beef carpaccio – it ‘cooks’ it slightly.
• 6 Finally toss through the cooked chicken, broccolini, fresh herbs, pumpkin seeds
  and avocado slices.
