Cold Chicken Salad

Cold Chicken Salad

Well all good things come to an end. Our bargain basement ( Bargain Cellar – We’re not American! ) Chicken at £2.35 has provided three meals for us. A Roast Chicken Dinner, followed by a Chicken Pasta Bake and yesterday the remains made a pretty good cold salad. Ideal for a rather muggy evening.

We had home made Gluten free Garlic Bread, Crispy Wedges and home made Marie Rose sauce with it and it was pretty good. You can tell this was Sue’s creation as it’s nicely presented and there it’s that blue tinge to the picture which is caused by the Fire Engine lights outside when it’s my turn to cook!
