Are you getting Thanksgiving food fatigue yet? Me too, and the day hasn’t even happened yet! I’ve been looking at Thanksgiving recipes for what seems like months now, so I decided to change things up a bit today and give you a fresh, clean salad full of flavor (none associated with Thanksgiving, either!).
A rich, sharp marinade made of honey, Dijon and whole-grain mustard, lemon, apple cider vinegar and olive oil does double duty as the dressing for the salad also. After the chicken takes a short nap in some of the marinade, the chicken is seared to golden-brown, caramelized perfection while providing intoxicating smells to entice everyone to come to the dinner table. Crisp bacon, corn (I love the frozen charred corn from Trader Joe’s), creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion and sharp Cheddar are the accompanying acts.
This is the ultimate, year-round chicken salad for when you are craving something warm, comforting and delicious with all the healthiness of a salad! Perhaps to combat the food coma after the holidays?
