Roast chicken and mixed nut salad

Grilled chicken, mixed nuts, feta, and a creamy yoghurt-honey dressing over a bed of greens, a balanced, properly satisfying salad with all the textures.

Roast chicken and mixed nut salad

A flavour-loaded salad that hits all the textures, crunch from the nuts, tang from the feta, sweetness from the dressing. Works with freshly grilled chicken or last night’s roast. Great for lunch or a light dinner.
