Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast: 1 cooked chicken breast and 1 cooked chicken leg, skinned and shredded
  • Olive Oil: 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Streaky Bacon: 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
  • Spring Onion: 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • Egg: 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
  • White Wine Vinegar: 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Dijon Mustard: 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Little Gem Lettuce: 2 Little Gem lettuces, chopped
  • Celery: 4 celery sticks, chopped
  • Crusty Bread: crusty bread (optional)
  • Clear Honey: 1-2 tsp clear honey
  • Blue Cheese: 75g blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Fry the bacon until crisp and cooked through, then very roughly chop.
  2. To make the dressing, mix the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and honey with 1 tbsp water and some seasoning. Save 2 tbsp in the fridge for another salad (see 'Goes well with'). Stir the spring onions into the rest of the dressing.
  3. Use the chopped lettuce and celery as a base, then arrange the bacon, chicken, blue cheese and hard-boiled eggs on top and drizzle over the dressing. Serve with bread, if you like.
