TAHINI CHICKEN SALAD
Time in the Kitchen: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
2 pounds chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 carrots, grated
6 radishes, sliced
½ cup roughly chopped parsley sesame seeds for garnish
When you're tired of chicken salad with mayonnaise, this creamy dressing made from tahini is a welcome change. Tahini is simply a paste made
from sesame seeds that is often used in Middle Eastern cooking. It can be found in most grocery stores and gives this salad a rich, nutty flavor.
Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the oven broiler to high and cook chicken for 10
minutes, stirring once or twice. Let cool slightly.
Whisk together the remaining olive oil, tahini and vinegar.
In a large bowl, mix chicken with carrots, radish and parsley. Drizzle dressing on top and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds. Serve at room
temperature or chilled.
