Summer Shortcut

One of our favorites shortcuts on summer cooking is store bought roast chicken. (Huh ?!!) I know... that's not even called cooking. Usually we have this roast chicken with chilies in sweet soy sauce, or rolled in the bread, sandwich or mix through salad. Well.. Ok...Ok ... that's still not called cooking. Preparing ! ( happy now ?) ^_~

When the weather is extremely hot like today, summer cooking brings dilemma. Too hot to stay near the stove or even too hot to eat. Though I gotta come up with something impressive to my family. Even just a salad. As Melbourne in mango heaven this week I have fridge full of mangoes . We loved mango. Hubby and kids bring diced one for lunch.

This Mango chicken salad I made for lunch today. The ingredients you can read it from the picture. It's mango (of course !!), shredded roast chicken, lettuce, and thinly sliced spring onions. The dressing it's just simply mayonnaise with added pepper. If you want lighter version you can make one from low fat yogurt plus Dijon mustard and pepper. And I served it with Turkish pide bread. Well that how I fed my family today ^_^ ..

this portion is for my kids, as they don't like green onions on their salad
