Chicken Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

By Sweet July

Salad does not have to be boring. We repeat: salads can be beautiful and satisfying.

Serves: 2

This has tons of colors and textures by way of crisp veggies, creamy goat cheese and fried wonton strips because we all need to live a little.

Our grapefruit vinaigrette is a bright burst of citrus, balanced with all-natural sweetness from the raw honey. It’s a salad you’ll want to make (and eat) over and over. We recommend using up any leftovers from our Harissa and Lemon Butter Spatchcock Chicken, but a store-bought rotisserie chicken also does the trick.
