Chicken Sausage Salad

by Leave a Comment

chicken_sausage_saladI’m usually the person that brings a salad to pot luck functions because so many salads have cheese on them which means I’m S.O.L. There’s a basic equation when thinking about a salad I heard years ago that I try to follow.

1) Start with your base green or filler

2) Add some protein

3) Add something salty or crunchy

4) Finish with something sweet or tangy

This delicious tangy salad follows that equation and it’s super easy to put together. Aidell’s Chicken Sausage makes it extra easy because it’s already cooked. All you have to do is heat it up.

Some people hate leftovers. I am not one of those people. I LOVE leftovers. Mostly because clean up is minimal and I’m lazy. The ultimate leftover in our house has always been rotisserie chicken. There’s so much you can do with already cooked chicken but my favorite is chicken salad. I’ve made it numerous ways but this is one is super easy and delicious with ingredients I usually have stocked. I used cucumbers as a vehicle but you can use bread, lettuce, whatever your hearts desire (or stomachs can handle.)

If you’re doing whole30 or eating paleo, you can omit the mayo for just oil and vinegar or make your own paleo mayo. It took me a few attempts to make it but I did get it to work. Not as satisfying as I’d hoped.
