Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the quick-pickled shallots; prep and cook the chicken
- Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ⅓ cup [⅔ cup].
- Juice the lemon.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the chicken and cook, turning once, until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad and the dressing.
2
Make the salad; finish the dressing
- Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; coarsely chop the beets.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
- Coarsely chop the dill.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon-tahini dressing base, dill, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
