This was never intended as a recipe to be posted on my site,  it was a quick fix meal I decided upon as I was exhausted from a weekend away. Monday nights are usually my quick easy but healthy nights and we have stir fry’s, salads and carb free meals. The smoked chicken breasts at Woolworths caught my eye, as a result of their new packaging and I decided to make an easy salad.

I also found a nifty new salad pack with strips of butternut and red onion so I knew I would not have to do much work.

 I assembled the salad early as I planned to go out for a late afternoon glass of wine at a friend but the salad was so delicious I started to eat it off the plate and ended up grabbing the camera before I finished it all. My poor hubby ate alone that night, and I could not resist sharing this perfect mid week summer meal!


Smoked Chicken salad (2)
2 packets (4) smoked chicken breasts (they were quite small so I served 2 each) sliced
1 packet butternut, watercress and butter lettuce salad pack (Woolies)
1 avocado, sliced
Parmesan cheese
Cherry tomatoes 

Dressing
40ml olive oil
40ml verjuice
80ml honey
1 heaped tsp wholegrain mustard

whisk ingredients to combine

 

  1. Toss the chicken and tomatoes in the dressing and assemble on the salad leaves  with the avocado
  2. Shave parmesan cheese on top and toss over remaining dressing

This salad does look very yummy and quick to make but excuse my ignorance, what is verjuice?

its the queen of vinegars...less acidic taste so it makes a smoother, sweeter dressing..
