  • Easy
  • Fast

A fresh salad of tomato, parsley and grains is zinged with lemon and plumped up with tender chicken in this take on a traditional Lebanese tabouli. Self-restraint is not needed when it comes to the deliciously garlicky yoghurt swirled on top. Have this one ready-to-go for an easy post-workout meal or to impress that clean-eating keeper you've been courting.
