[Primal Meal Plan] | Episode 17 plan primalmealplan

This week I've got a really quick video that will show you how to peel garlic pretty much like magic. I'm hoping to start having a skill video and a recipe video each week, but it will all depend on how much time I've got.

Have a great holiday weekend in the USA and don't be too tempted by things you know you shouldn't eat. Don't deprive yourself, but make smart choices!

How to peel a whole head of garlic in 15 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKPpJdd-TA

Tips:

Both the shortribs and the chicken salad call for marination time. Plan ahead!

For the salmon, you can obviously choose to forego the cedar plank and just grill right on the grate, use foil, or even bake or broil the fish.

Whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a large jug. Pour out half of the marinade into a large, shallow dish. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later.

Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl; marinade chicken for 15-30 minutes (or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows). While waiting for the chicken, prepare all of the salad ingredients and mix in a large salad bowl.

Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or a grill plate over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through.

Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.

Add ½ cup crumbled feta to give the salad an even better flavour!
