    Chicken, pepper & preserved lemon salad

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 20 minutes
    • Total time: 30 minutes 30 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    2–3 tsp green harissa paste
    2 tbsp olive oil
    2 red peppers, deseeded and quartered
    150g barley couscous
    300g leftover chicken or turkey
    130g pack Waitrose Watercress, Rocket & Spinach Salad
    2 tbsp green olives, halved
    2 preserved lemons, flesh discarded, skins finely chopped
    2 tbsp chopped coriander

    Method

    1. Mix together the harissa and 1 tbsp of the oil and brush over the red peppers.

    2. Cook the peppers in a preheated griddle pan or under a medium grill for 8 minutes on each side until nicely browned.

    3. Meanwhile, place the couscous in a large heatproof bowl and cover with 300ml boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes until the water has been absorbed, then fluff up with a fork. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp oil, season to taste and put in a serving bowl.

    4. Slice the chicken and peppers into strips and add to the couscous along with the salad leaves, olives, lemons and coriander. Toss well together and serve immediately.
