Instructions
- Combine the chicken with all the marinade ingredients and allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes (I often do this the night before to ensure maximum flavour).

- Toss together all the salad ingredients and pour over the dressing right before serving.
- This salad can be made a day in advance if kept covered in the refrigerator, just keep the dressing separate.
