Moroccan Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

I love it when I get to recreate my leftovers. πŸ™‚ It just makes my day. When I made my Moroccan chicken Moroccan Chicken I had a lot of chicken leftover. I also had some of my Mediterranean vegetable medley leftover as well Mediterranean Vegetable Medley. I even had some pita chips too. Well I didn’t want to serve the exact same dish all over again, so I turned it all into a delicious summer salad instead. I topped it all off with a lemon vinaigrette.

The joys of leftovers! πŸ™‚ It’s amazing what little bits of this and little bits of that can do. I added some Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, a little cucumber and a delicious Moroccan chicken salad was born.

I made a fresh lemon vinaigrette to dress up the salad. It was YUMMY! Sweet and tart at the same time.

Lemon Vinaigrette

1/3 cup olive oil

2 TBSP lemon olive oil, optional

1/4 cup lemon balsamic vinegar

2-3 TBSP lemon juice

2 tsp hot honey

1 tsp Dijon mustard

fresh ground black pepper

Whisk everything together and set aside until ready to use. This is a great salad dressing, or you can use it as a marinade for chicken or fish. Nothing says spring or summer better than lemons. πŸ™‚

Welcome in spring and enjoy the season. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
