The warmer weather has us all looking for fresh and light dinner ideas that don’t take too long to prepare. Even passionate cooks don’t want to be standing at a hot stove for too long this time of year.

So, grab a BBQ chicken, chop up some salad ingredients and put a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge. That’s dinner sorted my friends.

Ingredients

• 1 BBQ chicken, meat shredded
• 1 250 gram packet of fresh bean sprouts
• 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded into ribbons, or grated
• 2 lebanese cucumbers, cut into bite sized chunks
• 3 srping onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup of roasted cashews
• 1/2 bunch of coriander (substitute Thai Basil if you like)
• 1/2 a bunch of fresh mint

Dressing

• juice of 2 large limes
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
• 1 garlic clove, crushed

Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl and toss lightly.

Combine all dressing ingredients in a small glass jar and shake well. Drizzle over salad, toss again and serve.

Serves 4-6
