If you like your salads packed with flavour and crunch, this speedy Chicken Salad with Soy and Ginger is one for you. Caramelising the lettuce in a griddle pan really brings out its sweetness – the trick is to have the pan really hot, so the lettuce colours quickly but doesn’t cook too much. The croutons, edamame beans and peanuts dial up the crunch factor. Looking for more salad recipes? Look no further.Time and servings
