Warm Chicken, Pumpkin and Cauliflower Salad
Fresh and fabulous, this salad is about to become your new favourite (healthy!) midweek meal. It has been shared with us by Emily Coupar from Paleo Thermie. It cooks the pumpkin and chicken together in the lower dish of your steaming attachment, while having a yummy cauliflower rice steaming above. Super tasty, and healthy to boot.
