Lime and Chilli Grilled Chicken with Strawberry and Avocado Salsa - Day 7 - 07/01/12

After 2 attempts at trying to post this, here it is! (if anyone feels generous and wants to give me a new working laptop - feel free :) haha )


Had avocado and lettuce leaves left from yesterday so decided to pick a recipe that contained them both - waste not want not and all that. This recipe was very healthy and extremely tasty. Also was made at a bargain price as Tesco's had over stocked so had all their veg and potatoes for 95% of...BARGAIN the only thing that was payed for full price was the chicken!

The Final Dish Close Up - Looks Good Enough To Eat :)

Such a nice recipe, was a bit sceptical when I seen that it included strawberries but they are not over-powering in the slightest. Very healthy and filling at the same time.

Ease of Recipe:   (7/10)

Taste:                (10/10)

Look:                 (9/10)

Overall:              (26/30)

Tastiest recipe to date - will definitely be making that again. Let me know what you think of it if you make it.
