Pigeon Salad

How to Make Pigeon Salad

This light, healthy and most of all summery recipe comes courtesy of guest chef Awanish Roy who is the Executive Head Chef of Saffron Summer.

He says, “this is a very simple and quick dish to make and can be made within minutes. The pigeon can be replaced with chicken depending on your personal preference. I have just introduced this dish at my restaurant, Saffron Summer and it has already become the best seller.”

Marinate the pigeon breasts in yoghurt, paprika powder and salt and leave aside for a couple of hours. Make a dressing of the honey, mustard, black peppercorns and olive oil by mixing them in a bowl.

Cook the pigeon on a grill for about 3-4 minutes till evenly cooked on both the sides. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes and cut into thin slices or any other cut of your preference. Mix it with the salad leaves and the dressing, dish it in a bowl and sprinkle the grated cheddar on top.
