How to Make Chicken Tikka Salad

Ingredients

100g/3½oz ready-prepared, cooked chicken tikka, sliced
50g/1¾oz tinned brown or green lentils, drained and rinsed
50g/1¾oz cucumber, thinly sliced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped (optional)
1 tbsp ready-made tzatziki

Directions

On a plate, combine the sliced chicken tikka, lentils, cucumber, spring onions, and chopped coriander (if you are using it).
Serve the salad with a dollop of tzatziki on the side.

How to Serve Chicken Tikka Salad

Serve Chicken Tikka Salad on a plate or in a bowl. You can enjoy it cold or at room temperature. Drizzle a bit more tzatziki on top or serve it as a dip on the side for added flavor. This salad can also be served alongside pita bread for a more filling meal.

How to Store Chicken Tikka Salad

If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad will stay fresh for up to 2 days. However, if you use tzatziki, it’s best to serve it fresh and not mix it with the salad before storing.
