Hey there 🙂 On this very gloomy Tuesday, I wanted to share a very delicious salad recipe with you!
This is another one of my Mom’s, but over the years I’ve tweaked it a bit. The original recipe called for iceberg lettuce, but I prefer Romaine. It’s much easier to chop up and has more nutritional value! Instead of poached chicken, I like to use roasted to add more flavor. A shredded rotisserie chicken is fabulous, or you can just roast up a few chicken tenders like I did today! Here’s how you make it:
Crunchy Chicken Salad
makes 2 salads
1 head Romaine lettuce
2 scallions
Shredded chicken
Toasted slivered almonds & sesame seeds
Classic 3-2-1 dressing
Start by thinly slicing the head of Romaine and scallions. Divide into serving bowls.
Next, toast the almonds and sesame seeds. To do this, just heat the nuts in a skillet, stirring occasionally until they are fragrant. Be careful not to burn! Add to your greens.
Add the shredded chicken and top with my easy 3-2-1 classic dressing. It’s just 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss everything together and enjoy!!
