Ingredients
  

For grilling brussels sprouts

  • 100 gms Brussel sprouts
  • 2 pods garlic
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • 1/2 tsp thyme dry

For assembling the salad

  • 7 - 8 lettuce large leaves
  • 1/2 cup chicken Grilled
  • 1 cucumber

For the dressing

  • 1/4 cup orange juice Fresh
  • 1 tsp orange Zest
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ginger Grated
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • to taste salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven to 200C for 20 mins. While the oven is heating. Clean and slice brussels sprouts in two. Pour the oil and mix with the rest of the grilling ingredients and grill in the oven for 12-15 minutes till softy but not mushy. Keep aside for cooling.
  • In a small old jar, mix together all the dressing ingredients.
  • Clean, tear and dry lettuce leaves either in a salad spinner or by lining up in a newspaper. Wet leaves will make the salad limp, so this is an important step. I prefer to use the salad spinner, it makes my life easier.
  • De seed and chop cucumber into small pieces.
  • Mix together all the salad ingredients i.e cucumber, brussels sprouts, lettuce, chicken (I prefer to use left over grilled/dry chicken, any other protein like boiled eggs, tofu and paneer also works) gently along with dressing. Be gentle with the mixing and don't crush your leaves.
  • Serve as a quick meal or an appetiser to a longer sit down meal.
