Lemon salty chicken

Following on with the theme of simplicity, I love this recipe. It hardly takes any time at all, its easy to make and it tastes delicious.

Half a lemon (use the other half to make an icy cold gin and tonic)

Two pinches of sea salt

2 chicken breasts

Olive Oil 

Green Salad

Chop the chicken into a smallish chunks, add to a hot pan with the olive oil. As it cooks, squeeze the lemon juice all over the chicken. Then add the salt.

In the meantime, make a quick plain salad, I like a combination of lettuce, rocket and basil personally. Once the chicken is cooked, add to the salad and enjoy with a nice cold drink.

Red and yellow and PINK

Pink for beetroot in fact.

Tomato Salad

This is simplicity itself and a taste of pure heaven as well.

Tomato Salad

• 2-3 large ripe tomatos
• 1 lemon
• salt and pepper to taste

Slice the tomatoes, sprinkle liberally with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and leave for at least 10 minutes. I love this on its own, served with at most some crusty bread.
If you want something more substantial you can add:

• slices of mozzarella
• cubes of feta cheese
• crispy bacon bits

Or a combination there of.

I also use this as part of an antipasta plate, adding cold meats, usually salami and bresaola, a handful of olives and some crusty bread smeared with pesto or tapenade.
