Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Cumin dressing:
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 cup olive oil
Salad:
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons garam masala*
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
4 cups (lightly packed) chopped romaine lettuce
4 cups (lightly packed) mixed baby greens
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 fresh mint sprigs
Mango Raita
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • For dressing:
  • Whisk Sherry wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, and curry powder to blend in medium bowl. Add olive oil and whisk to blend. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring dressing to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
  • For salad:
  • Whisk yogurt, garam masala, and lemon juice in large bowl to blend. Add chicken breasts; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill chicken until juices run clear when pierced in thickest part, about 10 minutes per side. Place romaine and baby greens in large salad bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top each with sliced red onion, 1 fresh mint sprig, raita, and grilled chicken. Serve with lime wedges.
  • A spice mixture available at Indian markets and many supermarkets. To substitute, mix 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin with 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

This salad is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not sure I would make this salad again. The tandoori chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste.
