Stonefire naan are baked at extremely high heat, in a tandoor oven, just as they were hundreds of years ago. The extremely high heat produces the big bubbles, airy texture and delicious smoky flavour of an authentic Indian naan. Hand stretched and made with the freshest ingredients including traditional, fresh buttermilk and ghee (clarified butter), naan can be used to create any meal.
Warmed naan with fresh chicken salad and greens make a light easy lunch or dinner. This was a delicious and refreshing dinner, followed by an indulgent dessert of course!

I love this salad. Looks like it is very tasty. Fresh naan is always a good thing.

Hi Catherine:)
How interesting to include chick peas in the chicken salad. I'll have to give that a try. I've been learning that chick peas and actually all peas and beans are very good for cholesterol control. I've been on quite the hummus kick these days, lol...
I do enjoy a good Naan every now and again. I've actually been enjoying a lot of unleavened breads these days. Your lunch looks delightful. I wouldn't mind having it for dinner either:)
Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine...I can't wait to try the chik peas and chicken, lol...

I often wonder if you read my mind. I am sure I have said that before. Tomorrow, I am making salads for the Jewish holidays and here you have a salad that is just right and I know will be liked. Keep on reading my mind. Catherine.

What is that funky acorn-looking thing in the front and slightly to the left? Is that a green olive with a huge chunk of pimento sticking out of it?
AnnMarie says
Looks delicious! I love naan and all the other ingredients sound so good together.
Carrie Groneman says
Oh my girls! I can't believe how creative with the food you are. I had not thought to serve naan with a salad - genius! AND your photography makes mine look like I'm posting my grade-school level pics (I always think I'm doing good until I come to your absolutely stunning site - and GOOD FOR YOU!) when I see the top food magazine cover-like food pictures. I applaud you both and always look forward to the next recipe. Carrie, A Mother's Shadow
Ginny Hartzler says
It looks SO good, and fresh!! I only recently tried naan. In fact, it has not been in the grocery stores very long. It would be so much healthier then a big roll or bun.
Rosa says
Mouthwatering! This is a great dish.
Cheers,
Rosa

Yum! I always look at the radishes at the store, and wonder what I could do with them. Why I never thought to add them to a salad I cannot tell you, but next time I see them I will try this out! Thanks for linking at TYSH!
