We made the best grilled chicken this past week. I used a Lemon Basil dressing to marinade the chicken before we grilled it. Then we added more dressing after we sliced it and it was just so delicious. I am personally not a big leftovers person but this chicken was so good I didn’t want to waste it! So I made the best chopped salad with it. I basically just complied a salad with ingredients in my fridge I needed to use up and made a yummy balsamic vinegar dressing. I normally always make my dressing homemade. It is so easy and so much better for you than store bought and I swear they taste better! If you aren’t adding pickled veggies to your salads you are missing out- the pickled green beans take this salad to the next level. Enjoy!
