Great simple recipe, I added some thin vermicelli noodles to bulk it a bit as well as a bit of smooth pea it butter into the dressing.

This recipe was simple, healthy and tasty. My boyfriend who is not a lover of veggies except for chips and mash LOVED this meal and gobbled up every last bite.

  WOW thanks for your helpful contribution to this site for lovers of all sorts of food. Your succinct opinion and constructive criticism is sure to really help a lot of people decide whether or not to try this recipe. Instead of being arrogant and judgmental, why not share a tip or link on a vegan alternative that allows you to enjoy similar flavours, health benefits and ease in cooking. Or you can continue to just be an unhelpful, negative moron.

This is a sensationally simple and delicious dish - especially if you shred a BBQ chicken instead of cooking the chicken first. So fresh and full of goodness that even the kids will love...
