Crunchy Chicken Salad

  • Mar 18
  • 1 min read

This salad ticks all the boxes: crunchy, satisfying, tasty and full of protein and fibre. It's perfect for making ahead and having in the fridge for a few days' worth of lunches. You could have it on some rice cakes, serve it on a bed of salad or coleslaw or just by itself - so many options!


I hope this makes your week ahead lunch prep that much easier.


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cucumber

  • 3 gherkins

  • 1/2 red onion

  • large handful of flat-leaf parsley

  • 2 - 3 stalks of celery

  • 500gm cooked and diced chicken thighs, or you could use a cooked chicken from the supermarket, or last night's roast!


For the dressing:

  • 2 - 3 tbsp mayo (home-made is here)

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice and/or vinegar

  • 2tbsp plain greek yoghurt



Method:
  • Chop up your veges and parsley to bite-sized pieces and shred/chop your chicken, put all of this in a big bowl

  • Put the dressing ingredients into a jar and give it a good shake, pour over your salad and toss it all together, well.

  • Voila! Keep this in a container in the fridge for 2 - 3 days
