Description
  • The tender chicken is savoury and juicy, providing substance to the salad. The mushrooms are earthy and full of umami, adding a warm, savory element. The kale is robust and slightly chewy but softened from massaging, offering a solid base for the other ingredients. The honey mustard dressing brings a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy notes, lifting the flavours and adding brightness. The pine nuts bring a crunchy texture, adding variety and depth to each bite.
