Chicken Salad
This is yet another recipe I have made for the swap I am in this month and is yet another recipe that I have rally enjoyed, It is a really simple and tasty chicken salad to put together. I cooked a seasoned chicken breast per person because I had to use them up, but using a BBQ chook would make this so quick to throw together and that perfect after work meal. I also served our salad greens on the side, as my hubby is not the biggest salad lover and ends up leaving most of the greens. I doubled the dressing too as I was making this for 3 people. I will look forward to making this one again this summer as it is really healthy, light and refreshing salad. To see more photos of this recipe or to read more reviews please click here.
