Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Cube bread then toss with olive oil and season with salt.
- Transfer to a sheet pan and place in hot oven. Toast for 7-10 minutes, turning half way, until the chunks of bread are golden brown and toasted.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
- To make the dressing, blend together olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. I usually make this in with my immersion blender but you can finely chop the herbs and garlic and whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl too.
- Taste and adjust the dressing to your preference. Remember, as this is going over bread and vegetables, it needs to be a little too salty and a little too tangy for it to be a nicely balanced salad once dressed.
- To make the grilled chicken, season chicken breasts with olive oil, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper then grill in a hot grill pan or outdoor grill for 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the chicken to rest while you assemble the salad.
- Slice the cucumber and avocado into bite-size chunks then add to a large bowl with the bread cubes. Add the fresh basil.
- Pour the herb vinaigrette over the salad then toss to coat the bread and vegetables in the dressing.
- Serve with the sliced grilled chicken.
