Julie's family favourites

This month Julie Goodwin shares a zesty salad with crispy spiced chicken that can be served for lunch or dinner. This recipe may become your own family’s favourite!

This dish sits comfortably as a main meal, or as a side dish as part of a shared table. The spice blend is extremely versatile and will keep for months. Flavouring your meat with a dried spice blend saves the time it would take to marinate but still delivers a huge kick of flavour.
