Chicken Shawarma Salad with Tahini Dressing

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the lemon juice, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and spices in a small bowl. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over, rubbing it in by hand. Seal, pressing out the air, and refrigerate for at least a few hours, up to overnight.

  2. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, pour any remaining marinade over top, and roast for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.

  3. While the chicken roasts, chop the lettuce and herbs and toss together. Chop the tomatoes and cucumber, and slice the red onion.

  4. Blend the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until emulsified, adding more water to reach your preferred consistency (closer to 1/2 cup for a pourable dressing).

  5. Layer the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion over the herb salad base. Top with the sliced chicken and dress with the tahini to taste. Serve immediately.
