Chicken and Orange Salad

"A refreshing and flavoursome summer salad, adapted from ‘Quick Meals’. Vary the yoghurt according to taste preferences. If you want to add more colour variation, use a red capsicum instead of the yellow capsicum, or use ½ a red capsicum and ½ a yellow capsicum."

directions

  • Peel the oranges over a small bowl so as to catch – and reserve - the juice; cut the flesh into segments and place in a separate bowl.
  • Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken, celery, spring onions and capsicum, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Making the dressing: In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together, including any reserved orange juice, until well-combined.
  • Arrange the salad leaves and chicken mixture between four plates and pour the dressing over the salad leaves and chicken mixture; and divide the pecan nuts between the four plates.

  1. AWESOME! So many different textures. You've got a winner here, thanks!
     
  2. 5 stars all the way, this salad is delicious, I used Greek yogurt as that is my favorite, the only change I made was I increased the honey, wonderful salad thanks for sharing Bluemoon!
     
  3. 5 Stars, great combination of flavors and contrasts for a refreshing chicken salad: bursts of liquid orange vs crunchy green celery and red capsium with some heat from the scallions, and some chill from the sweet yogurt-honey dressing (I recommend orange blossom honey). Used chopped walnuts instead of pecans, what's not to like! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
