Perfect Main Dish Salad – Mediterranean Chicken Salad
Holly’s Mediterranean Chicken Salad recipe is a favorite of all the Mediterranean chicken recipes. An entree salad makes the best dinner when you want a light fulfilling meal. This delicious super salad with Greek inspired ingredients is from Too Hot in the Kitchen cookbook. This cookbook is known for its fun and trendy, tasty 30 minute recipes.
Mint is the Secret Ingredient in Mediterranean Chicken Salad Recipe
The magic of rotisserie chicken and chic ingredients like edamame, sun-dried tomatoes, mint, and feta – you can easily whip up this fresh any-season salad. However, mint is the essence of summer and fresh mint makes a difference. If you don’t have it growing rampant, check any grocery. A terrific tip: grow it in pots because it really will spread all over! Instead of spinach, you can toss chicken mix with quick-cooking couscous or quinoa for another great option.
