Chicken Quinoa Salad with Asparagus
I knew I wanted to steam some chicken breast and collect a little group of ideas on how to then use said steamed chook! This is one of the ideas we literally wrote down as a list of ingredients, then quickly filmed and added and tweaked for Insider Club. We loved them all, (there were three on the filming day) and you will too! It is time to join us for Spring and Summer Salad Days. Isn't it nice to think we are nearly there again?
Bring on 2021!
