Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp red wine vinegar, divided
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper, divided
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts
  • 1 lb. flank steak
  • 6 cups arugula
  • 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives or dill

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Whisk 3 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp vinegar, tamari, lime zest, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper in a nonreactive bowl or dish. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to another nonreactive bowl. Set both aside.

  3. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper on both sides of chicken and steak. Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. At the same time, grill the steak, turning once, 3-5 minutes per side for medium.

  4. Transfer the chicken and steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and add the chicken to one bowl of the reserved marinade and the steak to the other. Let cool to room temp, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes.

  5. Just before serving, toss arugula and herbs with the remaining 1 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp vinegar, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper in a bowl. Arrange the chicken and steak on a platter and drizzle with any remaining marinade. Serve topped with the arugula salad.
