This smoked chicken and peach rocket salad recipe is very simple. Buy a smoked chicken breast and slice lengthways then arrange with fresh peaches, peas, rocket and a handful of micro greens and, voila! It’s done. Add a garlicky dressing with a good quality grainy mustard drizzled over to finish. If you’re keen, sprout your own micro greens and taste the difference.
