Warm Chicken Salad

I love this salad, it has all the good stuff in it and doesn't mind if you change it a little. Feel free to use the amounts as a guide only, in fact, change any of the ingredients and while it won't be the same salad it will most likely not kill you.

Coat 3 or 4 chicken breasts (skin off) or about 8 chicken thighs (skin off) with Cajun seasoning and place them near a fry pan that is on the stove and hopefully heating up.

Put on each serving plate some spinach (fresh)
some finely sliced on the diagonal snow peas
some finely sliced red capsicum,
some bean shoots (if you can find them in the help yourself section, don't bother buying a packet because you will never use the rest no matter how much you mean to)
some finely sliced spring onion (shallots my aunt fanny, they're bloody spring onions and the sooner the food wankers accept that fact the sooner they can stop confusing the rest of us who go searching for French shallots and then wonder why the recipe never works the way they say it should!)
Any other pretty colours you like and finish with some cashews.

Cook your chicken in the (by now) warm/hot fry pan and then slice it and neatly place it over the top of your salad.

Serve with a dressing made of 1:1 olive oil and lemon or lime juice plus a healthy handful of chopped coriander.

FLAVOUR!!!!!!! And it's good cold too.
