Chicken lettuce coleslaw

This salad gets a big tick from us – it’s low-kilojoule, great value and on the table in 5 minutes.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1/2 barbecued chicken, shredded (see note)
• 1/2 iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 2 carrots, peeled, grated
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, crushed

Method:

1. Place chicken, lettuce, carrot and celery in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
2. Place mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add mayonnaise mixture to chicken mixture. Toss to combine.
4. Season with pepper. Serve.

Notes:

You’ll need 2 cups shredded chicken. You could spice up the coleslaw dressing by adding some sweet chilli sauce or finely-chopped, deseeded fresh chilli in step 2. For extra colour, add 1 cup of shredded red cabbage in step 1.
