Honey Mustard Chicken Chopped Salad

I’m here to rescue you.

From the vát of cheese dip ánd guác thát you might háve eáten lást night during the gáme. With á colorful, crunchy, chopped sálád thát will totálly máke your Mondáy! If you need á little help loáthing yourself less this morning, I’m your gál.

Let’s get to it.

This is SO my new fávorite chicken recipe. It’s not completely new – I took thát sweet ánd spicy honey broiled chicken thát we love ánd máde á honey mustárd gláze to brush on insteád – ánd then threw it together with á bunch of vegetábles ánd cheese ánd á quick honey mustárd vináigrette.

For me, thát vináigrette is key. I don’t love the thick ánd sticky honey mustárd dressings, in fáct, I’ve been weird ábout dressings since I wás á kid ánd you know thát my go to is álwáys á mix of oil ánd vinegár. But I LOVE the flávor of honey mustárd, so I wánted to combine the two into á honey mustárd-like vináigrette.

My sálád is wáy too high máintenánce, álwáys.

Speáking of high máintence sáláds, whyyyy do they táste so much when chopped? It hás to be becáuse you get á bite of everything in eách forkful. Right? I’ve only hád one bád chopped sálád in my life ánd it wás on á holidáy (worst time to eát out ever) when it seemed like án entire bág of ráw cárrots áccidentálly on purpose jumped into the bowl. Horrific!

No cárrots here todáy. No wáy.

ÁLSO. No celery. Álwáys ánd forever. Surefire wáy to ruin á sálád? CELERY. Stop it right now.

The things thát máde this chopped sálád perfection:
The chicken! Chopped into cubes, of course. It’s sort of crunchy on the outside. Chárred, if you will.
Ávocádo, álwáys.
Diced rádish.
Chopped cherry tomátoes.
Sliced green onions.
Tons of blue cheese. Áll crumbly ánd creámy.
Oh oh ánd butter lettuce! The best of the lettuces. Buttery, for sure.

I álso find thát I eát á TON more sálád if it’s in á big mixing bowl like this. Chopped + mixing bowl + tossing incessántly like á psycho máke for the best flávor ánd texture ánd perfect bite every time. Táke it from me.
