    Cup of Yum
  1. 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).
  2. To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients and set aside.
  3. Toss together all the salad ingredients and pour over the dressing right before serving.
  4. This salad can be made a day in advance if kept covered in the refrigerator, just keep the dressing separate.
