Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 porsi
Cuisine: Indonesian
Ingredients: 1 English cucumber, cut into chunks (about 1 1/2 cups); 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into halves (about 1 1/2 cups); a small chunk of red onion, thinly sliced on a mandoline; a small bundle of parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup); 1 tablespoon white vinegar; 2 tablespoons olive oil; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; 1/4 cup mayo; 1/4 cup Greek yogurt; 2 -3 individual Calabrian chiles, stems discarded, smashed / minced (I use a jarred variety); 1 clove garlic, grated; a splash of castelvetrano olive brine (optional, see notes); salt to taste; For protein, I use a batch of this ridiculously good Air Fryer Chicken(For a vegetarian alternative, this Air Fryer Tofu works beautifully too!); For a carb, I love the Banza Rice Mix for this – it doesn’t really make sense but I enjoyed the tomato chipotle variety!

This bowl has it all! The crunch of the tomato cucumber salad, the thin slips of bitey red onion, the golden crisped air fryer chicken cut into tender little strips, a big pile of perfectly chewy Banza, and a dollop of tangy calabrian chile sauce on top.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 English cucumber, cut into chunks (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into halves (about 1 1/2 cups)
a small chunk of red onion, thinly sliced on a mandoline
a small bundle of parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 -3 individual Calabrian chiles, stems discarded, smashed / minced (I use a jarred variety)
1 clove garlic, grated
a splash of castelvetrano olive brine (optional, see notes)
salt to taste
For protein, I use a batch of this ridiculously good Air Fryer Chicken(For a vegetarian alternative, this Air Fryer Tofu works beautifully too!)
For a carb, I love the Banza Rice Mix for this – it doesn’t really make sense but I enjoyed the tomato chipotle variety!

Steps

Toss the tomato cucumber salad ingredients together. Taste and adjust! (If you wanted to prep ahead, save the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion in separate containers in the fridge with no liquids added until just before serving.)
Stir up the sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust! This keeps super well in the fridge for several days.
Make the chicken and the banza (or whatever carb you like).
Assemble and serve! Gah! So good.
