Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breasts — To ensure juicy and tender chicken, marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Toasted almonds — To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Tips & Tricks
- Feel free to customize the Salmagundi by adding other seasonal vegetables or fruits of your choice.
- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the grilled chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh.
- Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
- To make it more filling, serve the Salmagundi with a side of crusty bread or boiled new potatoes.
- Make the dressing in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days for a quick and easy meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Salmagundi as a light lunch or dinner. It can also be a great option for a picnic or a potluck gathering. Pair it with a slice of crusty bread or enjoy it on its own for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the colorful ingredients of the Salmagundi in a large salad bowl or on individual plates. Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted almonds for an appealing presentation. Drizzle the citrus dressing over the top just before serving to keep the salad fresh and vibrant.
