Tandoori Chicken Salad

I had a hard time picking what to cook for this week's meal (last week I was down in NYC at MoCCA and visiting friends). I wanted something simple, but not boring. After much deliberating (debilitating?), I found this recipe for Tandoori chicken salad from Food Network's website. Tandoori chicken is an Indian dish where the chicken is marinaded in a curry-esque yogurt. The meal is simple: make the yogurt marinade, grill the chicken, then add it atop a salad.
The marinade was simple enough: yogurt with Garam masala, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and a minced jalapeño chili. Garam masala is an Indian blend of cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, and other spices. Turmeric is a Southeast Asian spice from the ginger family often used in curries. Thoroughly coating the chicken and grill it along with some of the marinade until there's no remaining pink.

Once finished, add it to a salad of iceberg lettuce, cucumber, scallions, jicama, or your preferred greens. The recipe actually calls for cabbage, radishes, and cilantro, but these aren't really of my preference, so I did without. I had never heard of jicama before; it's, well, a potato/yam-like starchy thing that looks rough from the outside but is very juicy and crunchy on the inside. Without much flavor itself, it absorbs those its paired with. It was actually very delicious!
And now, by popular request, the ingredients and preparation. First, the link to Food Network's recipe: Tandoori Chicken Salad. It looks to be for a limited-time only, so print it now if you want to keep it. The marinade's ingredients are:

• 1 cup of plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons of Garam masala (powder)
• 1 teaspoon of ginger
• 1 teaspoon of garlic (minced or powder)
• 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• a jalapeño chili, minced, if you so choose

Just stir these all together and cover the chicken thoroughly. Keep the chicken marinading while preparing the salad thusly:

• shredded iceberg lettuce, as much as you need
• shredded red cabbage (I just used a bag of mixed salad greens)
• 1 cup of sliced radishes, if that's what you're into
• 2 cups of sliced cucumber
• a small bunch of sliced scallions
• 1 cup of finely chopped cilantro leaves (unless you're Ian)
• 1.5 cups of diced jicama

Just combine the grilled chicken with the salad vegetables and enjoy! How easy was that?
