Salad with cheese, orange, and chicken
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. I serve the salad in pastry cups made from puff pastry, which can be baked in any shape—I chose heart-shaped ones this time. Waffle tartlets would also work well. Alternatively, you can simply serve the salad in a salad bowl. The orange adds a pleasant tang and aroma, the chicken makes it filling, while the cheese leaves a delightful aftertaste. This is a great option for those who love trying new things. Garnish as desired and serve.
