- 1/4 Cucumber
- 1/2 Small Red Onion
- 1 Egg Cup Red And White Quinoa
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Handfull Spinich
- 1 Handfull Rocket

- Onion: Dice Carrot: Ribbon (I Use A Peeler Then Cut Legnthways) 5/6 Will Do
- Mix Onion, Cucumber, Spinich, Baby Gem, Rocket And Quinoa Together.
- Mix Gently With Clean, Dry Hands Or With Gloves To Keep The Integerity Of the Ingredients.
- Place A Good Handfull Of The Salad In Your Bowl/Plate.
- Roll The Chorizo Slices And Place On Top With The Chicken In A Six Point Star Formation.
- Arrange The Carrot Ribbons Off Centre In A Zig-Zag Formation.
- Put A Good Pinch Off Pea Shoots In Centre.
