- 2 handfuls of croutons (we made our own using 2cm squares of sourdough, crusts removed, drizzled with a little oil and salt and placed in the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas Mark 4 until golden. Use gluten-free bread if necessary)
- Handful fresh parsley, stalks removed and finely chopped

- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
Salad
- Lightly fry the vegan chicken pieces in a little oil until golden or according to the instructions on the packet.
- Arrange all the different salad ingredients together in a bowl or decoratively on a board if you’re feeling fancy.
Dressing
- Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
- Either spoon a few dollops of the dressing around the salad ingredients or mix together with the salad until fully covered.
