Chopped Tandoori Chicken Salad image

I saw this featured on a slideshow from Delish. It is a great variation on a salad - the dressing is nice and has a little zip to it too! You'll want to marinate the chicken for at least an hour before cooking (but you could do it the night before to make for a fast meal the next day) - which is included in the prep time.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
cayenne pepper, to taste
2 pints small tomatoes (grape or cherry)
8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 seedless European cucumber, chopped
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well: yogurt, garlic, cumin, garam masala, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over the chicken in a resealable plastic bag, and rub marinade into the meat. Marinate for at least one hour, and up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to prepare the salads: Place chicken on grill, discarding any extra marinade. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until chicken is done. Meanwhile, skewer tomatoes or place in a grill basket and cook until slightly charred, about 5 minutes, stirring or turning periodically.
  • Allow chicken and tomatoes to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients and mix well: the remaining plain yogurt, cumin, garam masala, salt, cilantro, white wine vinegar, olive oil, and cayenne pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cucumber, and chickpeas.
  • Chop chicken when cool enough to handle, and add chopped chicken and tomatoes to the salad.
  • Toss with dressing until all ingredients are mixed well.

This salad was easy to make and very flavorful. I used store-bought tandoori chicken, which made it even quicker to prepare. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and healthy fats. I like to serve it with a side of naan bread or rice.
