chicken salad recipe

I am 100% a salad girl! I don't mean a simple bowl of skimpy lettuce with a few tomatos, I mean a hearty salad full of color and texture.

This recipe is great fresh, but if packaged with the lettuce on top, makes for a great meal prep!

All of the amounts of each ingredient is purely up to you & the ratio you want within your salad.

🥗chopped mixed lettuce

🥗chick peas

🥗corn

🥗onion

🥗tomato

🥗sweet potato

🥗air fried chicken (italian seasoning, pearled mustard, salt & pepper)

🥗goat cheese

🥗parm crisps for crunch

I mixed all of this with salt, pepper, ranch seasoning, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder & a little drizzle of creamy ceaser on top.

It was delicious and I will definitely make it again.
