-FOR MARINADE-
1 sm Onion, chopped
3 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 sl (1-inch) gingerroot, peeled
-and chopped
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 tb Water
1/2 c Plain yogurt
2 ts Ground coriander
1 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Salt

For marinade: In a blender or small food processor grind onion with garlic,
gingerroot, lemon juice, and water to form a paste. In a bowl stir together
onion paste and remaining marinade ingredients.

With a sharp paring knife make three 1/2-inch deep diagonal cuts in each
chicken breast half, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rub
chicken with marinade, rubbing it into cuts. In a large resealable plastic
bag marinate chicken, chilled, over night.

Preheat grill. Grill chicken on an oiled rack 5 to 6 inches over glowing
coals until cooked through, about 7 minutes on a side, and transfer to a
platter. Let chicken stand while preparing salad.

In a large bowl whisk together vinegar and salt and pepper to taste and add
oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Add mesclum and toss lightly.

Slice chicken 1/4-inch thick and serve over salad.
