Yield
serves 15

Ingredients

  • Salad
  • 8 Natural Delights Pitted Medjool Dates, chopped
  • 16 ounces rotisserie chicken, shredded/chopped
  • Dash of coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Optional Add-ins: sliced avocado, feta or goat cheese
  • Tahini Dressing
  • 1/2 cup sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons date syrup (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Water or nut milk to thin

Preparation

First, caramelize the chicken and dates by placing in a skillet with coconut oil over medium-high heat. Stir until the chicken looks slightly crisp and mix in the date syrup. Reduce heat and continue to stir for a few minutes. Remove from heat.

Make the tahini dressing by whisking all the ingredients until combined. Slowly add in nut milk or water until desired texture is reached. I used about 1/4 cup of liquid. You will have extra leftovers!

Place arugula in a large bowl and top with chicken + date mixture, pecans, and optional add-ins. Drizzle with tahini dressing and enjoy!

Enjoy!
