Asian Chicken salad bowl- with a satay sauce

This is one of my favourite salads with so much flavour bursting in every mouthful ( I know that sounds like some cheesy advert) and it's just filled with goodness from the avocado and the nuts and basically everything else in it.

Yes I know what you're thinking. That sauce doesn't look the best, but don't lose interest just yet! make it- don't look at it- and pour it over the salad and you'll see how wonderful it is.

You can add noodles or rice to this if you want a bit more volume to it and feel free to have this for lunch as well although make sure you're not seeing anyone after cause your breath may stink of garlic ( if you put a lot in like I do, that is.)

It's also a salad that will leave you feeling full and satisfied, unlike
