This salad is one of my most-repeated summer dishes, and works perfectly as a simple standalone lunch for two, or as a picnic/dinner party contribution (I’d double it to share). Love adding leftover fried chicken from the night before or some store-bought rotisserie chicken to up my protein intake at lunch.

If you’re making this all at once, start with the fried chicken, then keep it warm in the oven on its lowest setting while you assemble the salad :-)

Salad serves 2
Fried chicken serves 2 with lots of leftovers, or 4 as it is


EQUIPMENT

You’ll need a deep-frying thermometer, large pot, 3 quarter sheet pans and 3 mixing bowls.
