One meal that I
just love to make at the end of the weekend, and to set our family up for a
good start to the week, is a warm chicken salad. The salad’s delicious fresh flavours hit the
spot for a fabulous dinner and it’s so easy to make – perfect for winding down
the weekend.
I am very proud that
tonight’s base salad ingredients for the meal are purely from our kitchen garden
– a variety of lettuce leaves, Italian and curly parsley and torn basil leaves,
all picked fresh from the garden less than an hour before eating them.
Other ingredients
I like to add to make this a really wholesome and hearty meal are tomato,
capsicum, cucumber, egg, bacon and of course chicken. Tonight I’ve also added pumpkin seeds
(pepitas), quinoa (cooked for 10 minutes in boiling water with a teaspoon of
powdered chicken stock) and a sprinkling of chia seeds. I’ve topped the lot off with some shaved
parmesan cheese – my 4 year old is a cheese fanatic.
We also have some
left over ingredients from a nacho/taco night we had recently which go well
with this meal as dressings – guacamole, sour cream and mayonnaise. Otherwise a dressing of olive oil and
balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze also works well.
Delicious!
If you have a
regular Sunday night meal that you’d like to share, please send me a post or
