This is an old family recipe. No summer was complete without this salad. The recipe is quick & easy & very refreshing. It’s also super delicious, particularly on a hot day. Make this when you have some left-over roast chicken (no bones, of course) or just go out and get some roast chicken especially to try this recipe. We use the horseradish Dijon for the bite it gives to the dish but just plain Dijon mustard can be used as well. Serves 2
Mayo & Mustard Dressing (makes approx. one half cup)
Ingredients:

- 1 pre-cooked (& cooled) boneless, chicken breast, diced into small pieces

- Bread (a French baguette or some ciabatta)
Method:
- Combine the three ingredients (lemon juice, mustard & mayo) for the dressing in a salad bowl till smooth.
- Add the chopped green onions, mix into the dressing.
- Add the chopped peppers (green or a mix of colours).

Serve with your favourite bread on the side. Enjoy!
