Enjoy a delicious, nutritious lunch that perfectly aligns with the principles of the Caveman Code. This grilled chicken salad is packed with healthy ingredients and is simple to prepare!


Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 1 bunch green asparagus, ends trimmed

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1 cucumber, sliced into half-moons

  • 2 handfuls mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, and lamb's lettuce)

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions:

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, dried oregano, paprika powder, and black pepper. Rub the chicken breasts with this mixture and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.

  2. Prepare the vegetables: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the green asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  3. Grill the chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.

  4. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Add the grilled asparagus, avocado slices, and grilled chicken.

  5. Season to taste: Drizzle the salad with lemon juice and add extra black pepper to taste, if desired.

  6. Serve: Garnish the salad with fresh parsley and serve immediately.


This grilled chicken salad with avocado and green asparagus is not only delicious and nutritious but also perfectly in line with the principles of the Caveman Code. It’s perfect for a healthy lunch that will keep you energized throughout the day!
