Warm Spice Sensation Chicken Salad
This is a delightfully aromatic and tasty warm salad with a difference. Spiced chicken mince is served with our Spice Sensation Couscous and topped with fresh pomegranate and mint. Great for a tasty weeknight dinner.
Method
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-6 minutes until softened, add the garlic and spices and cook for a minute, stirring. Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Add the herbs and squeeze over some lemon juice and stir through. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile prepare the Couscous according to the packet instructions.
In a bowl mix together the yoghurt, hummus and half the lemon zest.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss through the chicken mixture in the pan.
Spoon and spread some of the hummus yoghurt on to serving plates and top with the couscous. Serve sprinkled with lemon zest, pistachios, pomegranate seeds and extra herbs.
