Pull the meat from the chicken
and shred it roughly. Trim the base from each lettuce,
wash and dry the leaves, then roughly shred them. Cut the
tomatoes into wedges. Finely slice the spring onions
(using both white and green parts). Cut the avocados in
half lengthways, remove the stones and peel. Cut crosswise
into slices, and squeeze with lemon juice. Crumble the
feta cheese with your fingers and toss it with the dried
oregano and mint. Pick the leaves off the parsley and set
aside.
-
Whisk the 3 tbsp of lemon
juice with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. In a large
bowl, toss the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and spring
onion, then fold through three quarters of the dressing
with the avocados (carefully, so the avocados don’t break
up). Season with salt and pepper, then scatter over the
feta, olives and parsley, and drizzle with the rest of the
dressing. Squeeze extra lemon juice on top, and serve with
pitta bread if you wish.
