Chicken salad is one of those dishes that just seems to bring a smile to everyone’s face. It is easy, delicious and very good for you. I love how you can make a chicken salad shine by taking inspiration from around the world, using spice rubs for the chicken or exotic dressings and sauces. Always use free-range organic chicken, as it not only tastes better but is also better nutritionally for you. Free-range chickens eat a natural diet, which translates to a healthier product for our own bodies. There are thousands of recipes for green goddess dressing and this is one of my all time favourites. Please play around with it and create your own signature version!

• 2 large handful cos lettuce torn
• 3 radishes thinly sliced
• 1 handful watercress
• 2 tablespoons walnut oil
• sea salt Himalayan salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 skinless chicken breasts (or you can use thighs) cooked and sliced into thick pieces
• green goddess dressing to serve
• 3 tablespoons walnuts chopped
• 1 lemons zest only

• To make the salad, gently wash the cos lettuce and dry. Combine the lettuce, radish and watercress in a bowl and gently mix with the walnut oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Smear a generous amount of green goddess dressing onto two plates. Place the salad next to the dressing and arrange the chicken on top. Season with a little salt and pepper then scatter over the walnuts, lemon zest and a little more walnut oil if desired.
