Chicken, Swiss & Vegetable Bulgur Salad

Our dietitians' favourite

Similar to classic Tabbouleh but packed with vegetables, tender chicken and nutty Swiss cheese, this is a filling lunch that will really satisfy. The zesty orange dressing gives it a fresh flavour, even when made ahead and packed for lunch the next day.
