PARSNIP “PENNE” & CHICKEN SALAD

PREP + COOK TIME 25 MINUTES SERVES 4

1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat–leaf parsley
½ cup (60g) pecans
300g shredded cooked chicken
60g baby rocket leaves
250g baby roma tomatoes, halved
1 litre (4 cups) vegetable stock
6 medium parsnips (1.5kg)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind, extra
1/3 cup (25g) flaked parmesan

1 To make dressing, place oil, rind, juice and half the parsley in a screw-top jar. Shake well; season.

2 Stir pecans in a small heavy-based frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until light golden; transfer to a board. Cool; chop coarsely. Combine pecans, chicken, rocket and tomato in a large bowl.
