Honey Chicken & Bacon Salad

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"Who said salads have to be boring? This sounds like a really tasty salad that is a proper meal rather than just rabbit food. You could most likely cut a bit of the fat by using a fat free honey mustard salad dressing. This was first published in the July 2007 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine."

A nice tasty salad. It made for a great compliment to Chicken Pitas I had for lunch. A easy quick making salad worth repeating. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

This made for a very quick and easy week night meal. We served ours warm as it was a cold night and everything was ready to combine at the same time. Next time for a cold salad I will add some cherry tomatoes for added colour. Thanks for a 'keeper' in my book :)
