Simple Chicken Salad for 2

Chicken Breast Salad 200 Kcal
Ingredients & Method
This is really so basic it is hardly worth writing. Fill a bowl with (almost) non-calorific salad vegies like romaine lettice, tomato, cucumber, courgette, grated carrot, celery, beetroot if you like it; the list goes on for ever.
Dress with 2 tablespoonfuls of light salad cream mixed with 2 tablespoonfuls of water and 1 teaspoonful of grainy mustard.
Top this with 4 oz of cooked chicken per person. Easy!
