Tangy Chicken and Rice Salad

This Tangy Chicken and Rice Salad is hearty enough to be a meal on its own. It’s also a great way to use up that leftover roast chicken.

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, deseeded diced
  • 1 stick celery diced
  • 2 shallots finely sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons sultanas
  • 1/2 cup almonds toasted roughly chopped
  • 2 cups water

 

Dressing

  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove small grated
  • 1/3 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped

 

Method

Cook rice as per packet instructions using the absorption method. Turn off the heat and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
