INGREDIENTS:

For the Dressing:

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

For the Salad:

  • 500g chicken tenderloins or cooked chicken
  • 2 nectarines, pitted and sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • 2 ounces feta or goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 avocado, diced

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place all the dressing ingredients in a jar, seal tightly with a lid, and shake vigorously until completely combined.
If cooking chicken, pour half of the dressing into a large zip-top bag. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. BBQ or grill chicken over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside on a plate to cool slightly until ready to serve.
In a large bowl stir together remaining salad ingredients. Toss with remaining dressing, add chicken and serve immediately.
