Get ready for Spring with this Crispy Honey Chicken Spring Salad that makes a great light dinner!
We are celebrating the beginning of Spring for this week's #SundaySupper, and sharing some of our favorite recipes of the season. This Spring Fling is being hosted by DB (Foodie Stuntman) of Crazy Foodie Stunts and Valerie of Lifestyle Food Artistry.
I love Summer a lot more than Spring, but I do love the fact that some of my favorite produce is in season. Asparagus, broccoli, spinach, baby lettuce, and more! Two of these are main ingredients in two of my all-time favorite recipes I've written about so far, Asparagus Soup and Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad. I usually make the Asparagus Soup for Easter dinner, and the Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad for all get-together's all Spring and Summer long.
I signed up for this week's #SundaySupper post a little late, and had to make a recipe with ingredients I already had on hand, Spring salad mix, chicken, grape tomatoes ( I wish they were in season!), red onion, and avocado. I didn't want to put an Italian or cream dressing over it, so I used a drizzle of avocado oil.
Check out all the great recipes being shared today after the recipe for Crispy Honey Chicken Spring Salad!
