Recipe: Italian Chicken Salad

Recipe: Italian Chicken Salad
July 1, 2022RecipesRecipes: Spring & Summer

 

Chicken salad is a classic dish, yet oh-so-versatile in the ways it can be prepared. The addition of crunchy veggies, fresh herbs, and bold flavors like lemon, roasted red peppers, and red onion elevate this salad from traditional to exceptional. Equally as versatile are the ways in which it can be served: on a bed of greens, in lettuce wraps, on a bun, in a tortilla, with crackers… or whatever other way you might think of!

While we could be exaggerating, we really do think this chicken salad is simply one of the best.
The only way to find out if you agree is to make it yourself!
