Creamy Chicken Salad

A classic bridal/baby shower, birthday party, or family gathering food is chicken salad. I have not eaten it in a while because of the ingredients that are put into it. When I got the Fixate cookbook and saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it I made this for dinner one night, it was husband and 1 year old approved! I even had some extras for the next days lunch, which is always a win for me!

Ingredients:

Directions:

- Cook chicken on stove top and let it cool in fridge for 15-20 minutes

- I used a ninja chopper for my green onion and almond

-After chicken is cool, mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl

Combined mixture

Lettuce wraps, yum!!

Serve with lettuce wraps, whole grain wraps, or my husbands favorite Hawaiian rolls! Enjoy and share at your upcoming party!

Homemade Balsamic Dressing

Needing something clean to put on your salads. I love me a big a salad with lots of greens! A typical salad dressing has a lot of additives placed in it.

It is amazing, only a few ingredients, and clean!

Ingredients:
*1 tsp. honey or pure maple syrup
*1/4 c. lemon or lemon juice
*2 tsp. dijon mustard
*6 tbsp. olive oil
*6 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

Directions:

* Combine vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in a medium bowl. Whisk to blend the ingredients well. 

* Stir in mustard, mix well.

* Slowly add oil, mix well!

Enjoy on salads! I also add this dressing on top of my veggies and add some peanuts, almonds or cashews for a little crunch, one of my favorite summer dishes!
