Again, this salad can be as easy as you want to make it. You can even buy a roast chook from your local shop; just make sure it’s free-range and that it doesn’t have stuffing — that would be totally bizarre. You could also use master-stock chicken, white-cut chicken or even throw a chicken on the barbecue. I also like to add cucumber and some spring onion to this salad to give it a kick along as well.
