Hi lovely Foodies,
at the moment we have the most beautiful summer over here ("here" means the very north of Germany)! So one of my favourites is a mixed salad fresh from the garden topped with grilled chicken (not from the garden!!). In this post I would like to show you my own personal and oh so delicious chicken garden salad + vinaigrette recipe!
I start with harvesting some ripe tomtoes, lettuce and herbs:

Aren't they beautiful?
Freshness-check!
Basil, rosemary and Thyme in a pot on the patio
The ducks do enjoy the summerday too
What I harvested: Fresh tomatoes - different types, romaine lettuce, herbs, garlic
First I prepare the herbs for the vinaigrette by plucking the basil, rosemary and thyme leafs from the stem.
Together with parsley, cilantro, dill and chives I chop everything finely.
No clue how much of the herbs - a hand full?
Then I put the chopped herbs in a shaker and add ½ cup olive oil, ⅛ cup vinegar, ⅛ cup mustard, ⅛ cup maple sirup, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 pressed garlic clove.
And then: Shake it baby!
Meanwhile the sliced chicken breast (cornfed and organic of course!) sizzle in hot sesame oil until golden brown.
For the finish I like to add norwegian sea salt with a "secret" herb seasoning. (See how I made that pic by clipping the iphone to my top 😂 )
Then put the vinaigrette over the salad and top with the chicken.
