Dare I say that while it's not officially summer per the calendar, this heat is telling me otherwise. I love the warmer temperatures, but yesterday I broke down and put the air conditioning on. Hotter days mean it's time to start serving lighter foods because who wants a belly full of heavy food on days that require you to crank on the air? We eat a lot more veggies this time of the year, so having good salad recipes on hand is always a must. I found this 1-2-3 Chicken Salad with Roasted Nuts on Golden Blossom Honey and immediately knew it was going to be a keeper of a recipe for me to use time and time again. 

 

 

I know that I try to use my oven as little as possible from now through September, and if you're like me, you use it sparingly as well. So instead of oven baking your chicken, throwing it on the grill will not only keep the heat out of your house, it will add a bit more of a smokey flavor to this dish. I like the simplicity of the salad dressing as well. I always have these recipe ingredients on hand, so when I forget to stock up on our regular dressing, it's good to know I can whip this tasty dressing up without having to head to the store. It will also make a great marinade, so this is a multi dimensional recipe. Break it apart and use it several different ways in your recipes this summer to maximize your ingredients, stretch your budget and eat light all summer long.
