Filling and delicious summer salad, perfect for a quick lunch!

This is one of my Italian mum’s summer staples. I reckon she made it for us every few weeks when we were growing up. Every time I make it for guests I always get asked the recipe, but truth is, it’s so easy and simple that it can even be thrown together at the last minute! I often cook the chicken in advance (like the night before) and then I assemble it in 5 minutes the next day, or even use roast leftovers. Lunch is ready in no time!

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and cook in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and some salt.
Once cooked, put it into a bowl to cool down.
In the meantime, roast the pumpkin seeds in a roasting tray at 350F with a drizzle of olive oil and some salt, for about 5 minutes.
Put the washed salad in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt and white wine vinegar to taste. Mix well.
Once the chicken has cooled down, add the chopped celery to the same bowl and the mayonnaise. Mix well and then add it to the salad bowl.
Top with the seeds and serve!
