Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare the dressing and salad elements (except the avocado) a few hours ahead and keep covered in the fridge.
- For the dressing, finely chop the chilli or jalapeños, along with the parsley. Place in a bowl with the shallot, garlic, chilli flakes, vinegar and oil. Season, mix well, taste to check the seasoning and set aside for serving.
- Remove the flesh from the chicken and discard the skin and bones. Arrange the salad leaves on a large platter. Top with the other ingredients and serve the dressing alongside, letting guests help themselves.
