Not Just another salad

In keeping with the summer light and easy trend, today's post will show you how a salad can go from being ordinary to extraordinary. My hubby's favorite food is salad so I'm always trying to think of new ways to turn a salad into a meal. A great winter idea, whip up a fresh batch of soup and dinner is ready.

Marinated chicken salad with Garlic parsley dressing

Marinated Chicken:
1 pkg boneless chicken breasts
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp mayonnaise

Marinate the chicken and sear in a frying pan for a few minutes on each side. Slice into strips when fully cooked. This chicken is also delicious on it's own served with a side dish of your choice.

Cut up lettuce, tomato, cucumber, purple onion and strips of chicken. I like to sprinkle French's Fried Onions on top. Pour dressing, mix and enjoy right away.

Garlic Parsley Dressing:
1 c. Mayonnaise
1/3 c. Lemon juice and vinegar combined
1 tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 tbsp Mustard
2 frozen parsley cubes
2 frozen garlic cubes
Salt, and pepper

There will be leftover dressing, save in in the fridge for any salad for one week.
