This is ideal for sunny autumn days and made extra delicious with crispy bagel croute’s
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
Twist the pre-sliced bagel to open and slice quite thinly using a breadknife. Toss with the oil, put on a large baking sheet and scatter with the zaatar and a pinch of flaky salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the kefir or yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic; season well. Stir in the chicken, apple, celery and a little chopped dill, if you like.
To serve, put a few lettuce leaves on each plate, if you like, pile the chicken salad on top and arrange the bagel crisps over it.
Great with Lively Lemon & Ginger tea. The bright lemon and ginger infusion brings freshness to the creamy Waldorf dressing and adds a zesty contrast to the sweet apple.
