GRILLED CORN, MANGO AND WILD ROCKET SALAD WITH CHIMICHURRI AND CHICKEN SKEWERS

Make the Chimichurri:
Blitz all chimichurri ingredients (except avocado) into a smooth green sauce. Set aside ⅓ of the sauce in a bowl for marinating the chicken. To the remaining sauce, add avocado and 3 tbsp water, blitz again, and season to taste—this is your salad dressing.

Prep the Chicken & Corn:
Toss diced chicken in the reserved chimichurri, drizzle with olive oil, and thread onto metal or soaked wooden skewers (makes 8 kebabs). Brush corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Cook the Chicken, Corn & Halloumi:
Heat a barbecue to medium-high. Grill chicken skewers and corn, turning for even cooking. Fry halloumi on a flat plate with a little olive oil until golden, then set aside.

Prepare the Mango & Vegetables:
Slice mango cheeks, scoop out the flesh, and slice thinly. Dice cucumber and capsicum and finely slice spring onions. Strip cooked corn kernels from the cobs once cooled.

Assemble the Salad:
On a large platter, layer rocket, cucumber, mango slices, capsicum, corn, halloumi, spring onion, and mint. Drizzle with chimichurri dressing, season with sea salt, and serve with chicken skewers.
