With all this cold weather at the moment why not bring the sunshine to your kitchen, with this beautiful Smoked Chicken & Orange Salad.  I love salads and when hubby and I have both have had a busy day; or week in this case, it is nice and refreshing to be able to mix together a simple, easy and tasty salad together and enjoy for dinner.

I would never even think to add orange to a salad, but my gosh, it was amazing, it complimented the dressing, along with the chicken, and the whole dish was a pleasure to eat.

This is so easy, you have to give it a try. 

Ingredients:

¹/3 iceberg lettuce 

240g smoked chicken breast – sliced 

¼ oak leaf lettuce 

½ orange – peeled and segmented

½ punnet of cherry tomatoes – halved 

¼ cucumber – diced 

70ml olive oil 

35ml white wine vinegar 

Pinch of salt and pepper

Method: 

Using a mixing bowl, combine the iceberg lettuce, oak leaf lettuce, chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, orange segments and diced cucumber together.

Serve the salad onto your plate and drizzle the dressing over the salad. 

Enjoy!
