🥗 Show Up for Spring with a Great Chicken Salad

Published about 8 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

We've been eating salad for dinner like crazy lately. It's become kind of a game for us...can we put it on a salad?

That's a big yes in most cases, burgers, salmon, shrimp, tuna...but for lots of us the holy grail of main course salads turns out to be, you guessed it, chicken!

Spring Chicken Salad Recipes

We're big believers in the whole “salad for dinner” idea. I love it because no matter how the day’s gone, I can count on dinner to catch me up on my veggies.

A few years back I set out my Main Course Salad Challenge encouraging everyone to make one dinner salad a week. We’re still keeping that up in our house, and my collection of main course salads just keeps growing.

Lemon Garlic Shrimp with Orzo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"Lemon Garlic Shrimp with orzo…. Excellent! My husband and I have just completed dinner … and dishes. During our meal, my husband Jim praised the dinner many times. “This is delicious!” “You can really taste the toasted orzo.” “This is really good. It’s really lemony!” And as he headed out out with the evening’s trash, he turned to me and said, “That dinner was delicious. Where did that recipe come from? Be sure to save it!”

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

~ see you in the kitchen!
