Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the salad dressing; prep the cauliflower
- Zest and juice the lime, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside all but 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lime juice for finishing the salad.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] coconut-mayo base for the chicken.
- Cut away the core from the cauliflower; place the cauliflower, flat side down, and cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices.
In a large bowl, stir together the curry powder, lime zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lime juice, 2 teaspoons [1 TBL] oil, and all except 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] coconut-mayo base. Add the cauliflower and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate while you prepare the chicken.
2
Prep the chicken
- In a small bowl, stir together the chicken spice blend, remaining coconut-mayo base, and 1 to 2 teaspoons water.
- Place 1 or 2 chicken pieces at a time on a large piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper and sprinkle the meat with a few drops of water. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper and pound with a rolling pin or a heavy frying pan to flatten to an even thickness of about ½ inch. Remove the plastic wrap or waxed paper, transfer the chicken to a plate, pat dry with a paper towel, and season generously with salt. Rub the chicken on both sides with the spice blend mixture, then coat the chicken with the coconut.
3
Cook the chicken
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate. While the chicken is cooking, assemble the salad.
4
Finish the salad
- Remove any stems from the grapes. Cut the grapes in half; cut any large grapes into quarters.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for garnish.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
To the bowl with the cauliflower, add the grapes, white parts of the scallions, and almonds. Stir in as much of the remaining lime juice as you like and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the chicken and curried cauliflower salad to individual plates. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve.
