aiming for zing, and fresh flavours, an adaptation on earlier watercress salad recipe, but with accoutrements
Ingredients
- 40 g pea leaves, washed and dried
- 2 cups of bean shoots
- 1 carrot thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler (you will need a good quality one to get through the whole of the tough carrot)

- 1 tsp of ginger finely grated
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce or fish sauce
- 1 tbsp of lime or lemon juice
- TO SERVE
- 1 - 2 tbsp of chopped peanuts or cashews (I used almonds, but I think any kind of nut or seed would be lovely)
Instructions
- Bake chicken at 200 degrees C until cooked through (approx 20 mins?)
- Allow to cool or refrigerate overnight
- Pile all salad ingredients into a large bowl
- Dice chicken and add to the bowl
- Combine dressing ingredients
- Pour over salad and mix well to thoroughly combine

Don’t get me wrong! This is pretty much the earlier Watercress and ginger salad that I wrote up a coupla weeks ago, but with shredded carrot, baked chicken and nuts.
In any case, I think there is a PROCESS here, and I hope you are having a LOVELY lunch also! Love you xxxxo
