Chicken Shawarma Salad… There isn’t a more perfect way to eat a salad!
This LOADED salad satisfies every Shawarma craving without needing to go anywhere! The chicken is smothered in Shawarma flavour and spices — juicy, tender and slightly charred like true Shawarma meats!
Similar to a Doner Kebab for us in Australia, this very popular Middle Eastern street food is normally stacked and cooked on a vertical spit for hours, while basting and dripping in its own juices and fat. Slices of meat are shaved off from the block of meat and rolled inside a warm flatbread, mixed with lettuce, tomato and onion, and topped with garlic sauce or tahini. Shawarma = food for the soul. Making it at home is so easy and simple, without ending a vertical spit! The spices in this paste/marinade come together so quickly, and while grilling your chicken, fills your house with all of those beautiful Shawarma smells. The chicken can be left to marinade overnight OR after a couple of hours if short on time.
Then, the real kick is this garlic yogurt sauce. I usually drown my rolls in so much garlic sauce with a hint of tahini, and I knew it would be an essential part to this salad. The difference with this salad to others is we are serving it on warmed flatbreads. Can I just say,. the juices from the chicken PLUS the tomatoes AND the garlic sauce begin soaking into the bread, that when you’re finished eating your salad, you’re left with soft wraps dripping in flavour. Gah! The BEST part!
