Rainbow Chicken Salad

Eating a full spectrum of colour doesn’t just make your food look amazing, it also does amazing things for your body by providing you with all the phytochemicals unique to each colour. Swap goji berries for fresh raspberries when they’re in season for an additional hit of sweetness and antioxidants.
