  • 3 cups chicken pan fried, grilled, or rotisserie

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. I pan fried the chicken in olive oil just until it was no longer pink inside, but you can use grilled or rotisserie chicken in this salad.
  • Prepare the vegetables by cutting into small pieces/bite-size pieces
  • Mix the chicken and the vegetables together in a large bowl
  • Prepare the dressing for the salad. In a mini food processor, food processor, or blender. Add the chopped garlic, basil, oregano and process until the ingredients are in small pieces. 
  • Add the red wine vinegar, mustard, and sugar and blend together. Gradually add the olive oil and process until well blended.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well blended. 
  • Refrigerate for an hour or more before serving. This salad can be made the day before it is served.
