Chicken, Grape & Cucumber Salad

Another quick 30-minute meal for you all! I absolutely love this one as it is great for both summer and winter. It is light and refreshing, but uses ingredients that are avaliable all year round. So if you're fancying something slightly different, that is also filling and nutritious, you should try this dish out. It doesn't sound like it should work together - but trust me, it does!
