Chicken Salad Recipe


Spinach and Almond Chicken Salad


A simple Chicken Salad Recipe for summer entertaining with a delicious mustard and vinegrette dressing.I was inspired to make this cool little salad when I was having a vegetarian friend over for supper who was fine with eating chicken.The avocado is works well with the chicken but not everybody likes it so it's up to you whether you include it or not.This is very easy to assemble and goes well with warm, crusty bread. It serves about 4 people.

  • 3 oz / 85g slivered almonds, toasted

    Salad Dressing Ingredients
