- To make the dressing, mix the ricotta, lime zest, half the lime juice and the horseradish sauce in a bowl, then stir in the diced cucumber. Add the chicken to the bowl with the cannellini beans. Mix lightly to combine the chicken and beans with the dressing.
- Toss the salad leaves with the onion and remaining lime juice, then spread on a large shallow serving platter, reserving a few pretty leaves for garnishing. Pile the chicken and bean mixture on top, then scatter with the beetroot and reserved leaves. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
