Although fresh is best, mango is not always available. Out of season, you can substitute canned or thawed frozen mango for fresh in this recipe. You can also use 1/2 sliced pawpaw instead of the mango - or use some of each.

1. Remove all the skin and bones from the chicken. Break the meat into smallish pieces and place in a shallow dish.
2. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a jug and whisk together well.
3. Pour over the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes, basting occasionally.
4. In a large serving bowl, toss together the mixed leaves, watercress, mango, onion, fetta and olives.
5. Just before serving, add the chicken with dressing to the salad and toss everything together well.
6. Serve with crusty sourdough bread.
You can also add 1/ 2 sliced avocado to the salad, but remember it will add to the fat content of the dish.
Instead of chicken, use cooked prawns, smoked salmon or trout (you won't need to marinate them).
A few sliced strawberries make a lovely summery addition.
