Ingredients

Salad

  • 12 ounces (360 grams) boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (1-centimeter) cubes

  • 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup whole buckwheat grains (kasha)

  • 1 cup hot water

  • pinch salt

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 8 cups kale or mixed greens

  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, cut in quarters

  • 1 avocado, cut in chunks

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

  • 1/4 cup sliced scallions or chopped red onions

Honey-Mustard Dressing

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1.

Coat cubed chicken in mustard.

2.

Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3.

Add the chicken and cook, without stirring, for at least three minutes or until chicken begins to cook through. Toss the chicken and continue cooking until all pieces are cooked on all sides. Transfer to a dish and let cool.

Prepare the Buckwheat

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2.

Place buckwheat, hot water, salt, and oil in a small pan. Cover and bake for 35 minutes.

3.

Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 20 minutes before uncovering.

4.

Once the grains are cool, they tend to solidify into one block; crumble with your hands to separate to desired size.

Prepare the Dressing

1.

Combine all ingredients besides oil and whisk together until fully blended.

2.

While continuing to whisk, drizzle in the oil to incorporate. Store in your fridge for up to two weeks.

Assemble Your Salad

1.

Line a large shallow bowl with the kale or greens.

2.

Arrange half the chicken on top of the greens on one side and the other half on the opposite side.

3.

Fill in the space in the middle with the remaining salad components in rows.

4.

Drizzle generously with dressing. Top with scallions or red onions. Dig in and see how satisfying it feels!

Thx. I really have looked all over but haven’t seen any. The container eggs and egg whites are always pasteurized but they don’t work well for all recipes. Good for dressings, though.

You’re welcome! I’ve actually noticed that many pasture-raised eggs have a small note on the carton saying they’re pasteurized as well. It can definitely take some time to check, and sometimes it’s not always that clear.Good luck, and I hope you find what you need!

I saw your response about pasteurized eggs. I know that pretty much all stores sell Pasture Raised eggs which is nothing at all like pasteurized. It just sounds almost identical. Pasture Raised just means that the chickens get to roam around in the pasture. Pasteurized means that the eggs are heated to a certain temperature to eliminate the threat of bacteria. I live in the NY area and I’ve been in many stores and I’ve googled, and called many other stores. No one has actual pasteurized eggs in the shell. Many years ago there was a company Davidson that sold pasteurized in Shoprite but they are out of business. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for writing back! Yes, I’m aware that pasteurized and pasture-raised are two different things. I’ve come across pasteurized eggs at my local kosher supermarket, although I don’t remember the brand. I’d suggest checking out a co-op or a small local health food store, as they might have a better selection. You might also have more luck if you look for eggs or egg whites in a milk-like paper carton—I’ve seen pasteurized versions. Sometimes, the word “pasteurized” is printed very small on the carton, so it’s worth taking a close look for it. Hope this helps!

Most supermarkets should have them. Just check if the carton says “pasteurized” or not. You can also find them in health food stores.
