easyTime:< 30 minsServes:6

A pre-roasted chicken forms the basis of a festive summer salad you can take anywhere.

Ingredients

½ a roast chicken
150g shredded cabbage
150g shredded red cabbage
1 small red onion, finely sliced
1 small green apple, julienned
1 cup loosely packed mint, roughly chopped
1 cup loosely packed parsley, roughly chopped
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup raisins
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
juice of ½ lemon
salt and black pepper, to season
½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Method

Step 1
Shred the chicken, including the skin, into thin strips by hand. Combine with the cabbage, onion, apple and herbs. Add the cranberries and raisins and toss.
Step 2
Combine the sour cream, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a separate bowl, then toss the dressing through the salad. Season well with salt and pepper, scatter with walnuts and serve.

Adam’s tip: If you’re bringing a salad to a party, pack the dressing separately and mix it through just before serving. The same goes with sauces for things like prawns.
