Thursday, April 10th, 2008

This one caught my eye as I was flicking through a health mag a few months ago. I decided to try it and OH MY GOSH it is really, truly delicious!

Many people straight away associate salads with the word bland - but they don’t have to be!

This weight loss recipe is so yummy and colourful that you won’t even realise you’re eating something super healthy!

Ingredients

2 Chicken Breast Fillets (about 500g total)
Low Fat Cooking Oil Spray
2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
2 medium sized Yellow Capsicums (deseeded thinly sliced)
1 medium ripe Avocade (halved, destoned and thinly sliced)
2 egg Tomatoes (sliced into thin wedges)
40g Baby Spinach Leaves
1/3 bunch flat-leaf Parsley
1/2 cup Low Fat Natural Yoghurt
1/4 cup Extra Light Sour Cream
1/4 cup Lemon Juice (fresh)
2 teaspoons Minced Garlic

Method

1. Pre heat a char-grill on medium to high heat.

2. Spray chicken with low fat cooking oil, sprinkle with cajun seasoning to lightly coat.

3. Grill chicken for approximately 4 minutes on either side (or until brown and cooked through). Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with foil.

4. Combine salad ingredients (all the remaining veges) in a large bowl. Divide salad among 4 bowls.

5. Whisk yoghurt, sour cream, lemon juice and garlic in a jug until combined.

6. Cut chicken into 1cm thick slices. Arrange over the salad and drizzle with the dressing.
