Caribbean Chicken Salad
serves 4
Ingredients
150g long grain brown rice
150g pineapple chunks in natural juice, drained
2 small bananas, sliced
100g red or green seedless grapes
25g sultanas or raisins
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons low fat natural yogurt
1 tablespoon reduced fat mayonnaise
250g cooked chicken, chopped
Ground black pepper
A few crisp lettuce leaves, shredded
Method
Cook the brown rice in a saucepan of gently boiling water for about 30 minutes, until tender. Rinse under cold water to cool it quickly, then drain well.
Mix together the rice, pineapple, bananas, grapes, sultanas or raisins and lemon juice.
In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt and mayonnaise. Add the rice mixture and chicken. Season with pepper and mix well.
Arrange the lettuce on 4 serving plates and share the chicken mixture between them. Serve at once.
I have to admit, I looked at the recipe and went 'wait, you want me to put WHAT together?!' but I'm game to give new things a try and I was curious. Bloody hell it is delicious. The variety of flavours, the sweetness combined with the chicken... seriously, orgasm on my tongue. Definitely one that's going into the 'I will make this a LOT' pile!
