Preparation
Grill the beets
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high and preheat the oven to 450°F), making sure to oil the grill first.
- If using a BBQ, in a medium bowl, combine the beets, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), a drizzle of oil and S&P. Wrap in aluminum foil and fold the edges over to seal.
- Place the foil package on the lower BBQ grates and close the lid. Grill, flipping halfway, 14 to 18 min., until cooked through.
- Let sit for 5 min. before unwrapping (be careful as the steam will escape as you open).
Grill the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken* dry; rub with the spices and a drizzle of oil.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
- In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar, mustard, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the carrots, lettuce and cheese curds; toss well.
- Add the beets.
Plate your dish
- Divide the salad between your bowls.
- Top with the chicken. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
