This is a great little salad that will have your family and friends going back again and again. It’s been so hot lately, I thought I’d do a salad with some fruit and to follow on, a few of those yummy truffles on some ice cream. (Valentines day is just around the corner as well) It’s really foolproof and fantastically fresh and delicious.
What you need
1. Red apples and cherries, same weight as the chicken 500g in this case
2. 1 lemon
3. 150ml light mayonnaise
4. 3/4 spring onions
5. chicken breast, 500g
6. mixed bag of salad greens
The process
Fry the chicken breasts in a little olive oil on a medium heat, (don’t overcook them, they should still have a tinny little bit of pink in the center) and leave to cool on a plate. (they will continue to cook through while cooling and will be moist and succulent.
Skin and cube the apples into small pieces (say 2cm cubes) and place in a bowl. Squeeze a little lemon juice over them to prevent them from turning brown. Add 1 tablespoon of mayo and a twist of black pepper, mix and set aside.
Slice the celery and spring onions finely and halve the cherries and mix together with the apples. Stir in the rest of the mayonnaise and make sure that everything is coated with the mayo mix.
Cube the chicken breasts into same size pieces as the apple and mix it all together.
Place some of the greens on a plate, spoon over some of the mixture and then pretty it up a bit by scattering some of the fine greens on top and serve with a french loaf or warmed traingles of pita bread. YUM
You can also add different fruits or nuts, walnuts to replace the cherries is fantastic, a bit of sweet melon or really any fruit you like will make it your own.
