This is a delicious but simple salad made up with ingredients I had in the fridge. Any other vegetables could be added, such as capsicum or snow peas. Instead of pine nuts, try toasted slivered almonds.
The magic of this salad is in the dressing. It’s superb and can be used for other salads to give an oriental twist. A touch of chopped red chilli would also be a good addition. Add some crunchy noodles if you like.
Throw in some sliced poached chicken breast and you have a light and luscious lunch.
