Tahini and Lemon Chicken Salad with Pomegranate and Chilli

I love this spiced chicken salad: the diced lemon cools it down a little and the pomegranate give it little bursts of sweetness; a delicious 15-minute lunch or supper.

Serve it with lentils and a green salad.

Ingredients
  • Cold chicken – about 150g
  • Half a lemon
  • Quarter red onion – or a few spring onions
  • Pomegranate seeds – about a quarter of a pomegranate’s worth
  • 1 red chilli – optional
  • Parsley
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic
  • A little water to dilute
  • Salt and pepper

METHOD
  1. Roughly dice the chicken.
  2. Finely dice the onion and lemon (not together).
  3. Deseed the pomegranate. Finely slice the chilli. Roughly chop the parsley.
  4. Put everything apart from the chilli in a bowl, season well with salt and pepper and mix really with your hands.
  5. For the dressing, mix the tahini and balsamic, and add water to thin it a little.  Add salt and pepper till it tastes good.
  6. Pour it over the salad and mix well – with your hands.
  7. Add the chilli, and mix with a spoon.
