CHICKEN SHAWARMA SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING #HEALTHYFOOD #SALAD

This is one of my preferred summer paleo suppers! Chicken shawarma serving of mixed greens is an inconceivably delightful, new, and rich weeknight supper. The greens are hurled with mint and parsley, at that point beat with crunchy cucumbers, garden-crisp tomatoes, and delicate bits of red onion. Each nibble is fresh, splendid and overflowing with flavor. 

Chicken Shawarma is an ordinary eat in this house and it shows up on our table in some structure each couple of weeks.At the point when take-out is required we go to our preferred nearby spot, Fettoosh. The proprietor is amiable and talkative, and routinely welcomes us with chilled mint tea in the late spring and a bone-warming creation in the winter. Setting off to his café is more similar to visiting an affectionate colleague than a retail exchange – it makes me all warm and fluffy, and that is actually what sharing great nourishment should do. 

Normally, I additionally prefer to set aside a few minutes to time in light of the fact that duh. It's a work of art of a feast for organization, and even my pickiest loved ones eat up each nibble.

Ingredients :

Chicken Shawarma  :

• 2 lemons juiced
• 1/2 c. avocado oil
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp cracked black pepper
• 2 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1.5-2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs

Salad  :

• 1/2 head romaine lettuce
• 1/2 head butter lettuce
• 1/2 c. fresh parsley chopped
• 1/2 c. fresh mint chopped
• 2 c. cherry tomatoes halved
• 1/2 english cucumber seeded and sliced
• 1 small red onion thinly sliced
• Lemon Tahini Dressing
• ½ c. tahini
• ¼ - ½ c. water
• ¼ c. olive oil
• 1 lemon juiced
• sea salt to taste
• cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions  :

1. In a small bowl, add the lemon juice, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and spices and whisk. Place the raw chicken thighs into a gallon-sized zipper bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Rub the marinade into the chicken with your (clean) hands, then press the air out of the bag, seal, and place in the fridge. Marinate at least a few hours, and up to overnight. I prepare the marinade first thing in the morning for an evening meal.
2. When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425. 
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pour any excess marinade over the chicken. Roast for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked throughout. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into 1/2" strips.
4. While the chicken is roasting, prep the salad. Chop the lettuce and herbs, then toss to combine. Chop the tomatoes and cucumber, and slice the red onion.
5. Place the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a blender along with 1/4 cup of water to start. (I love using my Ninja blender to make dressings. The individual cups are the perfect size for small batch items like salad dressing!). Blend until emulsified. Add additional water to reach desired consistency. For salad dressing, vs. a dipping sauce, I use closer to half a cup, sometimes a bit more.
6. Layer the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions over the herb salad base. Top with the chicken, and then dress with tahini to taste. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes  :

• Marinating Time:  Marinate at least three hours, and up to overnight. I most frequently start the marinade first thing in the morning for dinner.
