Salad of Broccoli and Chicken with Lemon Dressing

A great, lighter salad option is Broccoli and Chicken Salad with Lemon Dressing.

Salad of Broccoli: This isn’t your average salad. There isn’t any lettuce. There is also no tomato. It’s more of a potato salad with broccoli, carrots, and chicken! So it’s a jazzed-up potato salad with no mayonnaise-based dressing. It’s a one-of-a-kind salad that’s also delicious.

To begin, steam the potatoes, broccoli, and carrots and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Then, add some chopped red onion. Chopped roasted chicken is tossed with hoisin sauce and honey before being added to the salad. To evenly distribute all of these fantastic ingredients, toss everything together. The dressing will be added later. The dressing is both simple and delicious.

Sliced garlic is cooked in a small amount of oil until lightly browned. The warm garlic oil is flavored with lemon juice and freshly chopped thyme. The warm salad dressing is then drizzled over the salad. Throw away.

The dressing isn’t heavy at all, and it just adds a light flavor to the salad. This salad is ideal as a side dish to grilled meats. It’s also a fantastic salad to make and eat for lunch.
