I think a lot of people think of me as the dessert queen, but to be fair, I think I do a pretty good job on salads and other savoury stuff as well...don’t you agree? (Leave a comment and we will moderate it! hahaha)
I love a good tasty salad. Not for me a bag of supermarket lettuce with a bought dressing. Nothing worse. I love a good punch of flavour in everything I eat...so this one ticks all those boxes. I do have almost all the herbs in my garden, which is something I suggest you all get on if you haven’t already. A herb garden could be your best friend in the kitchen to be honest. It will also save you LOADS of money. My herbs are almost all self seeding now. I really only struggle with coriander, so I usually buy that. (If you have a secret coriander hack, let me know!!)
Enjoy this one! Do I need to even say that?

To prepare the chicken breasts you can either barbeque, sear, or poach...or even steam using the Varoma. I used smoked chicken breast, which is also a great option. Set them aside. They should be cold.

Toss the salad leaves with most of the dressing, just as you are ready to serve. Top with the chicken, sliced chillis and drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve on top of the Cumin Flatbread with a lime cheek per serving. If you need to you can add a little EVOO to the dressing to thin it down.
