San Fran Chicken Salad with Yoghurt Ranch Dressing

Inspired by Souvla, a popular restaurant in San Francisco, this is one of the best chicken salads I've ever had. Yes there are lots of components - but it is worth it! Yoghurt is a terrific marinade for chicken - tenderises, adds juiciness and infuses with flavour. It's satisfying, filling, fresh, g

  • 1/2 red onion, halved then finely sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white sugar

  • 3 cups kale, torn into bite size pieces (Note 2)

  • 1 g rapefruit or orange
  • 4 cups cos lettuce, romaine or other crispy lettuce, torn or cut into bite size pieces

Steps

  1. Mix the Yoghurt Ranch Dressing ingredients in a bowl. Adjust olive oil + lemon juice to taste.

  2. Chicken Marinade: Transfer 1/4 cup of Yoghurt Ranch Dressing into a bowl with the chicken. Add lemon juice and garlic. Toss to coat, marinate for 1 hr - 24 hours.

  3. Place Pickled Onion ingredients in a bowl, toss to coat. Set aside for 1 hour+ or until onion is softened (if in a rush, make sure the onion is finely sliced = faster pickle).

  4. Place kale in a large bowl, drizzle with oil then sprinkle with salt. Use your fingers to massage the oil onto the leaves - you want to ensure every part of the kale is coated in oil. Set aside for 30 minutes or until kale is softened.

  5. Segment the grapefruit or orange - watch the video. Do this over a bowl to catch juices. Squeeze all remaining juice out of the membrane after segmenting.

  6. Pour juices into the Dressing. Mix - it should now be more of a Dressing consistency.

  7. Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until nicely charred. Transfer onto plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes. Slice thinly.

  8. Assemble Salad: Add lettuce, fennel and chicken into the kale bowl. Spoon over most of the dressing to coat everything lightly, then toss well. Transfer into a serving bowl.

  9. Scatter over grapefruit, onion (not the liquid), top with a handful of snow pea sprouts, sprinkle over parmesan. Drizzle over remaining dressing to taste. Serve!
