Ingredients

  • 600g skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 400g cooked quinoa
  • 1 round lettuce, leaves separated
  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
  • ½ cucumber, finely chopped
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pack Market Street salad cress, snipped
  • 15g dill, roughly chopped
  • 15g parsley, roughly chopped
  • 15g chives, roughly chopped
  • 15g tarragon, leaves picked
  • 120g mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed
  • 3 anchovies in oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • Vegetable oil, for the grates

Method

  1. Step 1

    Start by making the dressing, add the dill, parsley, chives, tarragon, mayonnaise, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies and buttermilk to a blender and blitz until smooth, green and only little flecks of herbs remain. Season to taste. If you have the time, pour 100ml of the dressing into a container and add the chicken thighs. Toss well to combine and set aside to marinate in the fridge for up to 2 days. The dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a BBQ until the flames have subsided but the coals are white hot, or a griddle pan on high. Brush a bit of oil over the grates of the BBQ or griddle pan and add the chicken thighs. Cook for 4-5 mins each side or until cooked through, then transfer to a chopped board and set aside to rest for 5 mins, before slicing.

  3. Step 3

    Mix half of the dressing into the cooked quinoa along with the lettuce, celery and cucumber. Toss well and arrange on a platter, dot the avocado slices, chicken and remaining dressing over the top. Scatter over the snipped cress to serve.
