Just because the weather is getting a little cooler does not mean that salad isn't a perfect healthy lunch. This warm chicken salad with homemade garlic and mustard dressing is a great lunch or light supper with a glass of white wine.
Start by preparing the dressing.
Dressing: (Do not be lazy and buy a mustard dressing, this is quick, easy and delish!)
2tsp Dijon mustard
2tbs red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove crushed
60ml olive oil
Half tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients with a whisk and give a shake! Dressing done...now you can move to preparing the salad.
1 loaf ciabatta bread (you will use this to make your own croutons)
4 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
4 leaves cos lettuce/or rocket
2 avocados peeled and sliced
10 cocktail tomatoes cut in half
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and cut the bread into cubes. toss these in olive oil and bake bread for 5-10min or until golden and crispy.
2. Fry and season chicken in a pan until cooked through, any chicken spice is great.
3. Toss remaining ingredients, warm chicken and croutons together and serve with dressing you made earlier.
