Tandoori Chicken Salad
Flavorful, vibrant, and refreshingly wholesome, Tandoori Chicken Salad combines the smoky, spiced goodness of classic tandoori chicken with crisp, fresh vegetables for a salad that’s hearty yet light. It’s a perfect fusion of bold Indian flavors with the freshness of a garden salad — ideal as a satisfying starter, a healthy lunch, or a light dinner.

Tender pieces of boneless chicken are marinated in yogurt, lemon juice, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, garlic, and ginger. The chicken is then grilled or roasted until charred and juicy, infusing it with the signature smoky tandoori flavor.

The grilled chicken is sliced and served on a bed of fresh greens like lettuce, spinach, or rocket, tossed with crunchy vegetables such as cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, and sometimes radishes or carrots for extra color and crunch.

A light dressing made with a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like mint or coriander complements the robust tandoori spices without overpowering them. A sprinkle of chaat masala or toasted nuts can add a zesty or crunchy finishing touch.

Served slightly warm or at room temperature, Tandoori Chicken Salad is a delightful balance of smoky, spicy, tangy, and fresh — perfect for anyone who wants a salad with real flavor and heart.
