HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN SALAD with Melba Karaka

The honey and garlic chicken salad features on all MELBA menus across Auckland and was a must for our newest café in Karaka. This is a delicious salad perfect for spring, as it is light, balanced and always satisfies. Any spring herbs and vegetables can be added. We always use free range chicken and our house garlic aioli is made with free range eggs and confit garlic. We are sure that you will enjoy the combination of flavours and textures.

15 ml Soy sauce
