Eleven Fasting days until Christmas

Smoked chicken and mango salad

This mango and chicken dish is an inspired combination. The sweet, luscious mango and herbs really complement the smoked chicken, while the toasted sesame seeds add texture and a nutty flavour.

● To make the dressing, whisk together the lime zest and juice with the chilli, sesame oil, basil, mint and honey, then season well with salt and pepper.
● Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl, add the chopped mango and sliced chicken, pour over the dressing and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

There's soup next time, cos you can make a whole heap and freeze some if you want and it is good for inclement weather.
