Dinner
The leg and thigh from the supermarket roast chicken was accompanied by Nigella Lawson’s Vietnamese Chicken Salad. We kept the chicken intact and served the salad on the side.
- Each serve is one quarter of the $7.99 chicken, or $2 a serve
- The shredded green cabbage was $1.29 for the pack, or 33c per serve
- The ingredients for the sauce add another 35c per serve
- Organic mint cost $1.75 or 44c per serve
- The limes for the dressing were $1.56, but only about half the juice was used, leaving the rest for the accompanying Gin and Tonic – 20c per serve.
We have salad left over for use in lunch wraps. Tonight’s dinner cost $3.32
