Ingredients

  • 250g red Camargue rice
  • zest and juice 2 lemons
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • pinch of caster sugar
  • 1 small ready-roasted chicken, skin discarded and meat shredded
  • 50g almond, toasted and chopped
  • 1 medium cucumber, deseeded, cut into diagonal chunky pieces
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 pomegranate, seeds removed

Method

  • Boil the rice in plenty of salted water until just cooked, about 30 mins.

  • Meanwhile, make the dressing and prepare the other ingredients. Place the lemon zest and juice, and olive oil in a jam jar with a fitted lid. Add seasoning and the sugar and shake well.
