Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

70g fresh rocket leaves

the shredded meat of 1 whole free-range rotisserie chicken

Handful of fresh mint leaves

30g toasted walnuts

1 chopped chilli

1 ripe peeled and quartered avocado

juice of 1 half lemon

For the dressing

1 clove chopped

1/4 cup yoghurt

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

half a handful chopped chives

a squeeze of lemon

sea salt and black pepper

Method

Rub the two mielies with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Place a griddle pan over a high heat and fry the mielies for 30-60 seconds a side, until they begin to char. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels from the cob and combine with the rocket on a platter. Top with chicken, mint, walnuts, chilli and avocado. Season to taste, squeeze over the lemon and drizzle over the remaining olive oil.

For the dressing:

Whisk together the garlic, yoghurt, olive oil, chopped chives and a squeeze of lemon. Season to taste.
