Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • ½ leftover roast chicken you may use any cooked chicken, grilled or even poached
  • 2 cups green beans trimmed
  • 2 cups cooked brown lentils tinned cooked lentils can be used for a faster option
  • ½ a head of lettuce of choice torn
  • 4 spring onions finely sliced
  • 3 eggs optional
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon vinegar white/red wine or apple cider vinegar can be used
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • If you opt to include eggs, place them in a large pot, cover with cold water and place on high heat. Once boiling, cook to your preference (12 min for hard-boiled, 6 min for medium-boiled, 3-4 min for soft boiled). Remove the eggs from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Retain the boiling water for the beans.
  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in the bowl you'll be serving the salad in, whisking until well incorporated. Set aside.
  • Heat a non-stick pan on medium-high. Remove the chicken skin from your roast chicken and tear it by hand into the pan. Cook it for 4-5min until it crisps up. Then remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and add your bite-size chicken pieces. Cook for 4-5min, until heated through and lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoon of oil and add your well-drained lentils. Cook for 5-6min until heated through and slightly crisped up, then set aside.
  • Add your green beans to the pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 4-5min until tender but still crisp and 'al dente'. Drain and add directly into the serving dish with the dressing.
  • Finally, assemble the salad by placing the lettuce, lentils, chicken, green onions, and chicken skin on top of the beans. Peel and quarter the eggs and arrange around the dish.
