1. Salad with baked pumpkin and chicken. 3 unusual and nutritious recipes.
Today I offer you a recipe for an autumn salad with baked pumpkin and chicken.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
Broccoli 3.53 oz
Arugula 3 tablespoons
Red bell pepper ½ piece
Small red onion ½ piece
Baked pumpkin 5 tablespoons
Boiled or baked chicken fillet 5.29 oz
For the salad dressing:
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
White balsamic or apple cider vinegar 1/2 tablespoon
Dijon spicy mustard ¼ teaspoon
Liquid honey 1/2 teaspoon
Salt and pepper to taste
Microgreen parsley for decoration 1 tablespoon
Instruction:
Pumpkin:
I bake a pumpkin by slicing it and taking out the middle. Sprinkle with paprika, and salt and sprinkle with olive oil. Time to bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 356 F
Broccoli: Cook in salted water for 2-3 minutes.
Salad with baked pumpkin:
Rinse the arugula and put it on a plate along the entire width.
On top we spread sliced pumpkin, onion, bell pepper, and broccoli in layers. The finished chicken fillet is cut into pieces and spread on top of the salad.
In a separate cup, mix the ingredients for the sauce and beat everything well with a fork until smooth. We fill the salad with this sauce and that’s it! There is no need to add more.
An idea for vegetarians:
If you are a vegetarian or you just didn’t have chicken for breakfast, then the chicken in the salad will perfectly replace any legumes. In my opinion, black or red beans, as well as black or green checheyevitsa, are ideal.
