A very festive salad that looks so pretty and tastes absolutely divine. I do love a salad that is actually a meal and this is one of those salads. The dressing should really be it’s own recipe. It is that good. NO complaints if this is on your Christmas menu. Don’t be afraid of the the fruit...you’ll be amazed how good it is. You have been warned. More This salad can easily be scaled up or down. Increase cooking time on grain or chicken as needed. The maximum diced chicken that will cook in the Varoma dish and tray is approximately 1.2KG
