After having stuffed in so much food during the Chinese New Year holidays, I made myself a very simple salad. Had to make do with what was available from my larder and it turned out to be a satisfying and refreshing lunch.
Not much of a recipe for this dish, just personal preference for what you'd like to put into your salad and dressing is totally up to your wishes. But for my own reference I append below what and how I made this salad.
Simple Chicken Salad

Method
