Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Finely chop garlic. • Halve snacking tomatoes. • Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside. TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

Make the garlic croutons
2

• Cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. • Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking. • In a small heatproof bowl, add garlic and the plant-based butter and microwave in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. • Brush garlic butter over ciabatta then roughly chop.

Cook the chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat base over medium-high heat. Cook chicken tenderloins until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

Make the dressing
4

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, the brown sugar, a splash of pickling liquid and a drizzle of olive oil.

Toss the salad
5

• Drain cucumber. • To bowl with dressing, add cucumber, tomatoes and mixed salad leaves. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice chicken. • Divide salad between bowls. Top with chicken and garlic croutons. • Drizzle over golden goddess dressing to serve. Enjoy!
