Chop the new potatoes into quarters.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt. Add the new potatoes and cook on a rolling boil for 10-12 mins, until al dente. Add the edamame for the final 6 mins. Drain and set aside.
STEP 2
In a large bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, mustard, zest and juice of the lemon, sugar and capers. Season well with salt and pepper.
STEP 3
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add to the dressing. Mix well so the chicken is coated.
When the potatoes and edamame have cooled, add them to the dressing as well.

Arrange the spinach leaves between two dishes, and add the sliced cucumber.
Spoon over the chicken, potato and edamame mix.
