How's this for a healthy salad? The late burst of warm weather here has played havoc with mealtimes: who wants a heavy meal of roast meat and vegetables when the temperature can't make up its mind and decides to give us a few more days of heatwave?
This salad is a compromise between the fantasy of roast chicken and duck fat potatoes I had planned, and the reality of being too darned boiling hot to be bothered. Throw in the surprise find of a neatly trimmed bunch of radishes from the supermarket, and dinner's on the table.
Smoked Chicken and Radish Salad
serves 2
Ingredients
3 smoked chicken drumsticks (or 1 smoked chicken breast), meat shredded
50g rocket or baby spinach leaves
6 radishes, sliced
1 small avocado, sliced
1 small handful of roasted almonds
Salad dressing, eg. 3 parts olive oil to 1 part red wine vinegar, whisked
Method
1. Arrange all ingredients in an attractive manner of a plate.
2. Sprinkle on the dressing and toss lightly
3. Photograph the dish to within an inch of its life. Serve.
My local supermarket is sometimes (pleasantly) unpredictable - here are some radishes I unearthed in the 'Fresh Food' section.
Mostly, though, the supermarket is just annoying.

Lots of healthy vegetables, nuts and chicken protein
