Cooking Steps
- Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, halve, then thinly slice onion.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Drain, then roughly chop olives.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Combine chicken, panko, Shawarma Spice Blend, half the garlic and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt in a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to mixture.)
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Add carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Arrange meatballs on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until carrots are golden-brown and meatballs are cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, add onions, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar to a small pot.
- Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. Transfer onions, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
- Add mayo, hummus, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic and 2 tsp (4 tsp) water to a small bowl.

- Add spring mix and tomatoes, then toss to combine.
- Drain pickled onion and discard remaining pickling liquid.
