You made the Honey-Sesame Dressing, right? Okay, good. Did you use it all up? It’s hard not to, I know. Because…YUM. If so, just whip up another batch.
Because now you’re going to use it on this wonderful Honey Chicken Salad.
Grill up some chicken and combine it with fresh fruit and nuts, along with the dressing, and you’ve got a lovely lunch or light dinner.
