  • 1/2 cup Lemon vinaigrette
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced

Preparation

  1. Finely chop thyme and then mix it with the vinaigrette, mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour mixture over chicken and let marinate overnight.
  2. For the Feta Salad, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, agave, and dill in a medium bowl then add tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese. Toss gently, season to taste then refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
  3. Set your Memphis Wood Fire Grill to 500 F using Fruitwood Pellets.
