Need a no-fuss salad recipe? I’ve got you covered with this delicious bowl of goodness that’s a must-have when I need a quick and nutritious work lunch.
I believe the key to a delicious salad is in the dressing, and this one hits the spot. The rest boils down to the skillful combination of healthy ingredients. The only thing you need to chop is literally the scallion. As simple as that!
Tip: To save time, buy a fried chicken at your local supermarket or chicken store. For a plant-based option, replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh as a protein source.
