Chopped Chicken Salad with Creamy Peanut Butter Dressing
It takes a lot to get most people excited about a salad. Run of the mill salads don’t even stand a chance. Until now. I can’t believe how flavourful this Chopped Chicken Salad with Creamy Peanut Dressing is!
Maybe it’s the bite-sized nature of a chopped salad. Or maybe it was the flavors of the vibrant, fresh produce. Or perhaps it is the creamy peanut dressing that covered every bite with comfort and love. Who knows. All I can say is that this salad is worth trying!
*Note: the peanuts and peanut butter can be swapped out for almonds and almond butter or sunflower seeds and sun butter, if you prefer.
