- Boil the potatoes in the same or a different pot until tender, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and ground cumin to create a well-balanced dressing that adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the salad.
- Gently toss the shredded chicken, cooked potatoes, watercress, spearmint, and almonds along with the currants in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and mix lightly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Before serving, let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Sprinkle some extra almonds on top for added crunch and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves.
