About

The reputation of this salad has been sullied over the years, thanks to limp leaves in plastic containers, found lurking in the chillers of service stations. Rest assured that we’re about to put that right. It’s the layering of flavours that really makes this classic dish a winner – succulent chicken, crispy salty skin, garlic marinade, anchovies and Parmesan for added umami.
