If you think peri peri only goes on fries, then think again! This Peri Peri Chicken Salad recipe is a fresh take on Salads and is not bland in any way. If anything the Peri Peri marinade makes this salad one of the most flavoursome salads out there. Seasoned with Black Pepper and Oregano, this Peri Peri Chicken Salad balances the spices really well with the addition of mangoes which may come as a ... surprise as it isn’t something that features in salads that frequently. The variety of mangoes that we have used in this recipe is Bangenpalli but you can use whichever variety of mangoes that you may have at home. In case, you don’t have mangoes at home, don’t worry. You can skip it. Thinking of upping greens in your diet? Rife with ripe cherry red tomatoes, an assortment of lettuce, Parsley, Cabbage and Cucumber, there’s no dearth to green leafy vegetables in this salad. If you are on a diet, there’s literally no better salad than this one as it is pretty low on calories and provides all the necessary nutrients that you would require. This particular salad recipe serves 1, if you wish to prepare this Peri Peri Chicken Salad for your family members, you can scale up the ingredients depending on the number of members in your family. Remember to boil Masoor Dal until it becomes soft as you don’t want it to taste raw.

Useful hacks and tips for Peri Peri Chicken Salad :
Pair this Salad with toasted bread or even garlic bread for some nice crunch. In this recipe, we haven’t used any cheese but you can always add some Feta cheese or even Gouda or Cheddar cheese to give your salad that extra bit of creaminess. In case, you don’t have lettuce at home, you can still manage with some cabbage and maybe add a little spinach to the mix. In place of Chicken, you can also use Salmon to give it a new twist. It will help you cut down on some calories and the Salmon is rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids. Grill the chicken for at least 10 minutes and try to keep it covered to retain the smokey flavour.

Success!

We hope you had fun making it! Enjoy the meal.
