Mediterranean Chicken And Lentil Salad

Yesterday, I gave you all a little teaser about another salad I made with my lentil salad Warm Lentil Salad. Today, I will share that recipe idea with you. Basically, I turned one salad into two salads, with the addition of just a few ingredients and a few tweaks here and there. Both were delicious, but I actually like the second version better than the first.

I turned the first version, which to me was more of a side dish, into a meal. I put it all on a bed of shredded Romaine lettuce, added some grilled onions, more olives and more tomatoes, and topped it all with grilled chicken. The boys both had Feta cheese added to theirs too. Then I dressed it all up with a champagne vinaigrette. Delicious!!!!

Champagne Vinaigrette

This is just a simple vinaigrette, with basic ingredients. It only took a few seconds to whip up, but it tasted divine. It was a perfect match for the salad too. It really brought all the flavors together.

2/3 cup champagne vinegar

2 TBSP Dijon mustard

salt & pepper to taste

2 TBSP honey

1 1/2 cups olive oil

Whisk everything together until everything until it is all well blended. I tend to add more pepper because I like things more peppery too.

This dressing is simple, yet elegant at the same time. It will dress up any salad.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
