This salad was even better than I thought it would be. Even the kiddos liked it.
I don’t usually get away with making a salad for dinner, but they were happy about this one! I also served them some mini pitas with it. That helped fill them up.
This recipe is perfect for using meal prep chicken or a rotisserie chicken. I prefer making my own chicken with this recipe.
Each Sunday I usually bake of a bunch of chicken breasts. I season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Having cooked chicken on hand is helpful in so many ways. If I need something for lunch I can whip up some chicken salad.
Or if I’m making a chicken dish for dinner (like this one) I already have chicken cooked.
Because I already had cooked chicken this salad was very easy to make. I bought romaine lettuce that I didn’t have to cut and reduced-fat feta cheese that was already crumbled.
The only prep I had to do was slicing the strawberries, onion and basil, and mixing together the dressing and Dijon mustard. That’s it!
I used my strawberry slicer to cut up the strawberries quickly. I simply wash off the strawberries, cut the tops off and slice away.
