This is a surprisingly tasty and unconventional take on chicken salad. I ate this salad over plain Boston lettuce and it was a refreshing and tasty lunch.

Was ok but needed something extra. I used walnuts and added chopped red apple- maybe it needed cucumber and red capsium in it with cherry tomatoes on the side. I served it on a bed of lettuce. Maybe I'll also use extra chicken next time. I only used 500g
