This vibrant chicken and watercress salad is a masterclass in balancing flavours and textures. The peppery bite of fresh watercress provides a robust base for the tender, hand-torn chicken and creamy feta cheese, while the addition of stone fruit wedges introduces a delicate sweetness. Finished with a nutty almond oil dressing and toasted almond flakes, every mouthful offers a satisfying crunch and a bright, sophisticated finish.

Ideal for a light summer lunch or a nutritious midweek supper, this salad is as practical as it is elegant. By using pre-cooked chicken breasts, you can have this protein-rich meal on the table in less than fifteen minutes. It is a wonderful way to elevate simple, shop-bought ingredients into a restaurant-quality meal that feels both restorative and indulgent.
