Chicken, Tomato & Mediterranean Grains Salad With Sun-dried Tomato Dressing
A lighter way to enjoy some leftover chicken or turkey – a simple salad packed full of flavour from our Tasty Grains, drizzled with a creamy tomato dressing.
Method
Prepare the grains according to the packet instructions and allow to cool before fluffing with a fork.
To make the dressing put the ingredients and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small food processor and blitz until well combined – for a looser dressing add a little water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and rocket to the grains and toss together. Divide between plates or one large serving plate and top with the leftover turkey. Drizzle over some of the dressing and scatter with parmesan shavings and basil leaves.
TIP: Add some pitted olives or red onion to the salad if you like.
