Gyros Salad

Gyros Salad

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 single chicken fillets
  • 2 tablespoons gyros/kebab seasoning
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 large leek
  • 300 ml jar of pickled cucumbers (e.g. gherkins)
  • 1 can of corn
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 Chinese cabbage or 1/3 iceberg lettuce
  • 4 tablespoons spicy ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup thick sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Preparation

  1. Rinse the fillets, dry them, and clean off membranes and cartilage. Cut into small strips or cubes. Mix with gyros/kebab seasoning and set aside for about 1/2 hour or longer if you have time.
  2. Meanwhile prepare the vegetables. Peel the red onion, cut into 4 parts, then into slices, and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Cut off the roots of the leek, the green leaves, and the outer 1 - 2 layers. Cut lengthwise into 4 parts and rinse. Chop on a board, place in a sieve and pour boiling water over it from a kettle, then drain.
  4. Dice the pickled cucumbers, drain the corn on a sieve from the brine, dice the bell pepper, rinse the Chinese cabbage, dry it and shred it finely.
  5. Heat oil in a larger pan, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and fry until golden on each side. Transfer to the bottom of a 20 cm diameter salad bowl.
  6. Drizzle with ketchup, cover with slices of red onion, then arrange the remaining layers of ingredients: cucumbers, corn, leek, bell pepper, mayonnaise mixed with sour cream or yogurt, and finally top with chopped Chinese cabbage.

Tips

Combining mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt makes the resulting sauce more liquid, so it may run down the sides of the dish and you won't get a perfectly even layer of sauce. So you can use mayonnaise alone instead.
