Finishing & Seasoning
Method
Salad Base
- 1
In a large bowl combine the artisan mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently and set aside refrigerated until assembly.
Thyme Roasted Mushrooms
- 2
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper so they are evenly coated.
- 3
Spread mushrooms in a single layer and roast 12–16 minutes, stirring once about halfway, until browned and slightly crisp at the edges. Remove from oven and keep warm.
Mojo Shrimp
- 4
In a bowl combine 1 tsp olive oil, minced garlic, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp orange juice, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- 5
Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate 5–10 minutes (don't exceed 20 minutes).
- 6
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until opaque and just cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Rustic Herb Grilled Chicken
- 7
If chicken breast is thick, slice horizontally to make 1/2" steaks or pound to even thickness. Pat dry.
- 8
In a small bowl combine 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken.
- 9
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken 4–6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Guacamole
- 10
Halve the avocado, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork leaving some texture.
- 11
Argentinian Chimichurri
- 12
Finely chop parsley and oregano (or use dried). In a small bowl combine herbs, minced garlic, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- 13
Whisk or stir until emulsified. Let sit 10 minutes for flavors to meld. If prepared ahead, bring to room temperature before serving.
Assembly & Finishing
- 14
Divide the tossed salad base between two bowls (about 2 cups greens per serving).
- 15
Arrange sliced grilled chicken (half the cooked chicken), 5 mojo shrimp, and half the roasted mushrooms on top of each salad bowl.
- 16
- 17
Drizzle about 1 tbsp chimichurri over the chicken and shrimp (reserve any extra to serve on the side). Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lime to taste.
- 18
Serve immediately while shrimp and chicken are warm. Offer remaining chimichurri and lime wedges at the table.
