Sad to say but it's true - summer is drawing to a close. All good things must come to an end, and this spicy-yet-cooling salad is a great way to say goodbye to our favorite season.
Fresh, crispy lettuce leaves and crunchy cucumbers meet spicy chicken and cooling dill yogurt dressing - perfect as a side dish at a BBQ or lunch on a lazy Sunday. Our Tandoori Sea Salt give this recipe just the right amount of depth and bite - those seeking a little more heat can give it an extra dusting at the end to really bring it home.

- 2 1/2 tablespoon(s) Indian Tandoori Sea Salt
- 3-4 Persian Cucumbers
- 2 Heads of Romaine Lettuce
- 2 Celery Stalks
- 3 Cloves of Garlic
- 2 cup(s) Yogurt (Greek is best, plain unsweetened is fine too)
- 2 Sprigs of Dill
- 1 Small Bunch of Cilantro
- 4 tablespoon(s) Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Finely dice cilantro and dill, and combine with yogurt, along with 1 1/2 Tbs of Tandoori Sea Salt.
- Wash cucumbers, celery, and lettuce, dicing everything into bite sized pieces.
- Dice garlic into fine (the thinner the better) slices, and reserve.
- Trim fat from chicken, and dice into small 1" cubes.
- Divide yogurt into two bowls - one for the chicken, and one to drizzle on later as dressing.
- Dredge chicken in yogurt, cover with cling wrap, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat oil on high until just starting to smoke.
- Remove chicken from marinade, allowing yogurt to (mostly drip off) and toss in the hot pan, along with garlic slices.
- Cook chicken, flipping every few minutes, until thoroughly cooked through. Remove, and allow to cool.
- Toss lettuce with other vegetables, mixing in chicken as you do so.
- Serve, drizzling with reserved yogurt dill sauce, and dusting with remaining Tandoori Sea Salt.
