Chicken Salad

This meal was put together using everything leftover from the salad leaves to the dressing and the 3 asparagus tips and 2 carrots. There is nothing, however that screams; SCRAPS!! when you look at the plate. It's beautiful, it's healthy, it's delicious and I could have happily served it to a guest.

Recipe:
1 chicken breast diced into big chucks or strips
1/2 a cucumber thinly sliced into discs (you can peel it if you like).
1 medium sized tomato thinly sliced
3-4 cooked asparagus tips halved
Baby carrots cooked
Handful green salad leaves

Mint dressing:
Handful fresh leaves leaves finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed chilli flakes

Mix all the dressing ingredients and allow to rest for a few minutes.

Place your salad on a plate starting with the green leaves then cucumbers, tomatoes and so on.
Spoon the dressing on top then drizzle the juices around the plate onto the salad.

Enjoy
