Chicken Spring Lasagna Salad
Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup raw almonds
- 1 lb. lasagna noodles, broken into 2" pieces
- Kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- ⅔ cup Carrington Farms Almond Cooking Oil
- ½ cup finely chopped parsley
- ⅓ cup finely chopped basil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from 2–3 lemons)
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 head of radicchio, thinly sliced
- 2 cups pitted olives
- 1 lb. boneless, chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp Carrington Farms Holy Basil Seeds
- Carrington Farms Organic Garden Herb Crounons
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread ⅔ cup raw almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing halfway through, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 6–9 minutes. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
- Meanwhile, cook 1 lb. lasagna noodles, broken into 2" pieces, in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain and rinse well.
- Season 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts with Almond Cooking Oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and nicely charred. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes, then dice or shred into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine finely chopped almonds, 2 finely grated garlic cloves, ⅔ cup Carrington Farms Almond Cooking Oil, finely chopped parsley, finely chopped basil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, nutritional yeast, pure maple syrup, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Season the dressing generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the cooked lasagna noodles, thinly sliced radicchio, pitted olives, chicken bites and Carrington Farms Organic Garden Herb Crounons to the dressing; toss to combine.
- Sprinkle Carrington Farms Holy Basil Seeds on top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
