Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Tandoori Chicken Tikka And Boccocini Salad

Kulsum Kunwa tosses together a simple roasted tomato salad, but adds a slight Indian twist to make it more interesting.
By Kulsum Kunwa

For heavy Indian palette like my husband’s, it difficult to like new cuisines and ingredients without a bit of Indian factor in it. I on the other hand take it as personal mission to feed him everything I like.  Things a woman does for the man of her life!

I made this salad on one of those days when I knew that simple roasted cherry tomatoes, basil and boccocini salad won’t make the cut with him. Instead, I tossed in chicken tikka along coriander leaves with cherry tomatoes and boccocini and it became an instant hit!

This salad is also great for entertaining and will be over in no time. Since summer is now official in many part of the world, you can sure grill the chicken and tomatoes on the grill for outdoor barbecue parties. Its even better if you marinate the chicken overnight, so all it requires to do is grilling and tossing the ingredients together.
