Recipe: Chicken Salad with North African Spices (using yogurt, chickpeas, peppers and onion)

Salads - Main Dish
CHICKEN SALAD WITH NORTH AFRICAN SPICES

"Chicken salad is not just an American favorite. This enlivened variation features a fragrant mix of spices based on a traditional Tunisian blend."

FOR THE DRESSING:*
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
FOR THE SALAD:
3 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked, and chopped
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup julienned-cut red bell pepper
1/2 cup julienned-cut green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/4 ounces olives, drained, and sliced

Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a medium bowl; stir well. Add chicken and remaining ingredients; toss well.

This salad is equally delicious chilled or served immediately. If you prefer, serve it on lettuce-lined plates for an even more colorful presentation.
