Ingredients

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 ripe avocado, cubed
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
• 5 oz (about 140g) mixed salad leaves
• 1 can (5 oz / 140g) tuna in water or oil, drained
• 400g (approx. 14 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 green chilies, deseeded and finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
• 4 tbsp garam masala

Directions

1. Prep the Vegetables & Tuna: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped onion, diced tomatoes, cubed avocado, and diced red pepper. Add the mixed salad leaves and the drained tuna. Gently toss everything together.
2. Cook the Chicken: Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a medium skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, rub it thoroughly with the garam masala, and add the crushed garlic and chopped green chilies. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through with no pink remaining.
3. Assemble & Serve: Carefully transfer the cooked chicken mixture from the skillet into the large bowl with the prepared vegetables and tuna. Gently combine all the ingredients. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve your aromatic chicken and tuna salad immediately and enjoy!
