- 4 Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed juice, not the bottled one)
- 1 cup wild rocket
- 3 Tbsp water
- 10 basil leaves AND edible fennel flowers (optional)
Method
Make the avocado dressing by blitzing together all the dressing ingredients in your food processor until it’s velvety smooth. If you prefer the dressing a bit runnier, add another tablespoon or two of water. Taste it and add a few more shakes of our Natural Herbs & Spices Veggie Seasoning if you think it needs more punch. If you like it really lemony, you can also add another squeeze of lemon juice – let your palate guide you.
Slice the steamed chicken breasts and season them generously with Natural Herbs & Spices Salt and black pepper. Build your bowl by adding the chicken to the rest of the bowl ingredients. Serve with the avocado dressing.
