1 teaspoon of seasoned soy sauce
3 tablespoons of prepared mustard
1 teaspoon of orange juice
1 ½ tablespoons of vinegar

Instructions
1. Boil the chicken breasts in 3 cups of water. Once cooked, remove the chicken, let it cool, then shred it. Keep the chicken refrigerated. Save ½ cup of the broth for the sauce.
2. Blanch the shrimp in boiling water, then plunge into ice water. Drain well, slice in half, and refrigerate
3. Slice the celery into thin, 3cm pieces. Blanch in boiling water, then cool in ice water like the shrimp. Drain well

5. In a large bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables and chicken. Mix the ingredients listed under 'Mustard Sauce' and pour half over the salad, tossing lightly.
6. Serve the salad on plates, drizzling the remaining sauce over the top.
