This chicken and blackberry salad not only looks beautiful, but packs a punch when it comes to flavour. The soft chicken mixed with the juicy blackberries and the zesty lemon dressing is a winner.
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 slices walnut bread, ripped into small chunks
2 tsp olive oil
1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
Bag of watercress
50g feta
100g blackberries
Croutons
For the dressing
2 tsp olive oil
Zest of ½ lemon
2 tsp lemon juice
3 sprigs thyme, leaves only
2 tsp honey
Method
Heat the oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6. Put the bread onto an oven tray, drizzle with the oil and season well. Toast in the oven for five minutes until crisp.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients and season.
Put the chicken, watercress, feta and blackberries in a salad bowl or plate, add croutons and drizzle with dressing. Toss well and serve.
Note: The flavour of walnut bread works well with blackberries but if you can’t find it then any bread will do.
