This is an absolute winner. The dressing is delicious. Hungriest teenager wasn't home tonight and 3 of us still managed to clean the whole lot up :-[ :-[
Fabulous recipe Tenina - Thank you

You ARE a very happy Jan…thanks for the great review. The books are back in stock in the morning we hope (Monday Dec 12th) so hopefully we’ll be sold out again in a flash as people stock up for Chrissy!

I agree with VHJ.  This recipe is a winner.  Was feeling very delicate and couldn't be bothered shredding cabbage and julienning carrots . . . that's what I have a tmx for!  So I whacked that in the tmx with some mint leaves as per EDC coleslaw.  End result might not have been quite so pretty, but with chicken piled high and the peanuts too, the dish still looked very attractive.

Loved the dressing.  Will use it for my thai beef salad too.  Loved the method of cooking the chicken in the basket then draining and chopping on reverse.  Have sometimes had trouble with poached chicken being dry and then there was no need to shred it.

5/5 from me!

Hi Jen71

Judydawn is too quick for me.  I just got the book delivered on Friday, this was my first effort, but will be trying more after getting off to such a good start!

We had this last night. I honestly didn't think the family would like it. But it got rave reviews. Really very nice.

DD and I made this tonight (after I had to ask her if I could look at her iPod in Woollies today ...I got the  :-)) :-)) :-)) and I had to remind her that I paid for the app! )

Anyway... YUMMO! Even the non-salad eater (hubby) loved it.

Sadly - no leftovers... :(
