  This is absolutely delicious and so easy to assemble. I did not have watercress or red chicory so used a bag of mixed lettuce and herbs instead. Worked brilliantly. Also made the dressing in the morning and stirred in the chicken which really allowed the flavours to mingle. Well worth a try.

  Lovely. Really liked the dressing - made it with 0 fat total so it was light too. Super tasty.
