Salads are always a quick and easy meal option, but my husband requires a protein to be included to make it a "full meal", so this one was a no-brainer for dinner this week. Of course this salad will take a little more time than just fruit and veggie varieties because of the time it takes to fry the chicken, but it's well worth the extra effort. I love to mix nuts and fruits into my salads because I like the added textures and sweetness, but it's always the dressings that excite me most when piecing together a salad. I've found many dressing recipes from Golden Blossom Honey over the years that I've loved and have made time and time again, but this one is by far my favorite yet. The lemon gives it sweetness, the honey mustard a touch of tang, and a bit of a bite with the vinegar. So many amazing flavors wrapped into an uncomplicated dressing that's going to be my jam all spring and summer long. If your area is experiencing the rising temps, earmark this recipe for a refreshing and delicious light meal option to enjoy through all of these warm weather days we're getting!
