Chicken, Cherry Tomato, Spinach, Raisin & Couscous Salad

One of the things I love about roast chicken is its versatility; so much so that leftovers can be transformed into a totally different meal. Take this salad for example. Cool and refreshing, not to mention easy and quick to make; ideal for a hot summer’s day or for taking to work to gobble up in front of the computer.

    Looking good – I have some Israeli couscous that might work with this – sounds perfect for a light dinner.

    michelle – love this, especially for summer…and would love to have it resubmitted to TasteSpotting, but maybe cropped exactly how you want it to appear, 250×250? when it was submitted, it cropped it to the left, not as balanced 🙂

    I love leftover chicken – there is just so much you can do with it! This looks perfect for lunch, provided we actually get some summer weather this year!!
