Spiced Chicken, Lentil and a Herby Yoghurt Dressing Summer Salad

Spiced Chicken, Lentil and a Herby Yoghurt Dressing Summer Salad



This is a recipe is originally based on a Jamie Oliver meal in 30 minutes recipe which I have adapted to make to make it faster for me. Mr S is currently on a big healthy eating lifestyle which loosely translates to no or low carbs. Me and Bubs are not following any sort of ridiculous ideas and continue to consume carbs in high quantities. 

However with it being summer and having been lucky enough to have a few warm evenings it is lovely to have a light dinner on these occasions and this salad fits the bill of being healthy, filling and delicious. 

Hope you all enjoy this as much as we did.
