Healthy great tasting salad !

After being in a health and nutritional workshop this week with Nuri Sedickie ( primequest products ) , I decided that I was going to try my best to include more wholesome foods in my daily eating routine . Today being Saturday , I would always opt for the Aneesa 's take away, Cosy corner , bona cafe or homemade burger and chips or boerewors rolls !

No , not today , I ran into hypermarket and went straight to the veggies ! Today we having smoked chicken salad for lunch . This salad can be made with salmon too , depends what you in the mood for , but both chicken and salmon are equally tasty . The idea of using smoked chicken was given to me my my friend Saaliega Yaghya , you 'll be surprised how quick and good this salad is , even the kids will love it !

Ingredients :
Smoked chicken or salmon ( tin , remove bones )
3 Tsp Cider vinegar
Ina Paarmans honey and mustard salad cream
3 Tablsp Mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper
Lettuce leaves
Cucumber
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Avocado
Green , red or yellow pepper
Carrots
Olives
Feta cheese

Method :
Flake the chicken into pieces ( depends on you ) , break lettuce leaves , chop cucumber lenghtwise and then into strips , chop tomatoes , cut carrots into julienne strips , peel avo and slice it , cut pepper into strips as well , all break feta into pieces and add the olives and mushrooms in a large salad bowel .
Sprinkle some salt and pepper , then add the cider vinegar , mayonnaise and drizzle the honey and mustard salad cream ( not too much to make the salad soggy ! ) over all the above . There you go healthy great tasting salad not bad at all for a Saturday lunch or supper ! You may have this with garlic rolls or low GI bread if you want it to be more filling , but nice on its own too !
