Freekeh, chicken and pomegranate salad
The beauty of this hearty chicken salad is that all you have to cook is the freekeh – a nutty grain with a pleasingly chewy texture. Discover more delicious, purse-friendly ways to make meals with leftover chicken.

Method
Put the freekeh in a saucepan and cover with 1 litre water and a good pinch of sea salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes until tender. Drain, then set aside to cool.
Put the spring onions, cucumber, herbs, almonds and pomegranate seeds in a large serving bowl and gently toss together. Add the cooled freekeh, chicken, feta, lemon zest and juice, then season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine.
Spoon the yogurt and tahini into a bowl with a pinch of salt and mix in 2 tbsp water to loosen. Serve the salad with a good drizzle of dressing

Delicious, Freekeh may well be my new favourite grain, only change to the recipe …I added grated garlic to the tahini dressing, otherwise perfect, would be fantastic lunchbox recipe too with the sauce added to serve
