Mustard Chicken Salad

If you’re on the hunt for glorious summer recipes to spice up your BBQ table, you simply can’t beat a Mustard Chicken Salad

This dish is loaded with crunch and tang from fresh veggies and an incredible ranch and mustard-based dressing. The result is an uber-flavorful salad that you’ll want to devour by the bowlful.

Now, I usually use ranch and mustard as dipping sauces for crudites and hunks of sourdough (don’t judge!). But this zingy dressing perfectly coats each morsel of chicken, making it one of my favorite ways to pack protein into my diet. 

And as this recipe is served 100% cold, it’s a great way to bring your temperature down when the summer sun starts blazing!

    If the flavors themselves weren’t enough to convince you to whip this up, I love that it stores easily in the fridge. So, you can whip it out for everything from garden parties to backyard BBQs and quick lunches! 

    Better yet, the crunchy veggies won’t lose their texture (even after a few days!).
