  • 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers (pre-soaked)
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill fronds
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 ears corn (grilled or boiled)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 8 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
  • 6 green onions (thinly sliced, green parts only)

  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
  • 1 avocado (peeled, seeded, and diced into medium cubes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by combining avocado oil, kosher salt, and half of the BBQ sauce. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Thread marinated chicken onto pre-soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Grill chicken skewers over medium heat for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
  4. While grilling, make the dressing by blending avocado oil, egg, coconut milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, onion powder, garlic, dill, parsley, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl or platter, layer sliced romaine lettuce and top with grilled corn kernels, green onions, grape tomatoes, black beans, cilantro leaves, basil leaves, and avocado.
  6. Place the grilled chicken skewers on top of the salad and drizzle with dressing before serving.
