Creamy Tarator Chicken Salad

DifficultyBeginner

We like to keep tarator on hand in the fridge because it's such a great and versatile ingredient, especially when it comes to summer salads.

Tarator makes an incredibly easy yet delicious dressing that requires no extra steps! Combined with some shredded chicken and fresh salad ingredients, you've got yourself a fresh, light and nutritious meal that comes together with ease.

This creamy tarator chicken salad makes a great dish for many occasions — throw it together when you're short on time, have leftover roast chicken, or need a healthy option to take for lunch.

Yields1 Serving

3 cups baby spinach

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup tarator

4 tbsp sesame seeds

1 1 small red onion, sliced into rounds

½ cup cherry tomatoes

Lemon for dressing

Total Time10 mins

Wash the spinach and pat dry between two paper towels. Place in a bowl.

Place the chicken in a separate bowl with ¾ cup of tarator. Mix together well then place on top of the spinach.

Slice red onion into rings and halve cherry tomatoes. Place in the bowl with the spinach and chicken.

Thin the remaining 1/3 of tarator with some water until it takes on a creamy consistency. Pour over the salad as a dressing.

Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds as an extra garnish, squeeze lemon over spinach and chicken.
