This salad is simply delicious. It is sweet and juicy and makes a great winter salad when you need something really refreshing – and the navel oranges are in season.

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast (no skin / bone)
• 1 clove of garlic (minced), save 1/4 of it for the dressing
• 1 good splash of tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
• handful of sesame seeds
• Large handful of baby spinach leaves, rocket and / or baby greens
• 1/2 yellow capsicum, deseeded and cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 stick of celery, chopped
• 1/2 spring onion / scallion, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 whole orange, segmented
• small handful of cashew or macadamia nuts
• 2 small vine tomatoes, quartered
• A drizzle of coconut / olive oil to cook the chicken

For the dressing:

• 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 orange (zested and juiced)
• 1/4 clove of garlic (minced)
• Seasoning to taste
• Honey to taste

This is a no oil dressing – it is fresh and light, you may or may not need the honey depending on how sweet the orange juice is. 

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and place in a bowl to marinate, with the garlic, tamari / soy sauce, and sesame seeds.

Prepare the salad vegetables, and pour over the dressing, mix it through.

Cook the chicken thoroughly in a little oil and add to the salad, top with the nuts, season and serve.
