This delicious and refreshing chicken salad combines the rich flavors of olive oil, lemon zest, and vinegar to create a perfect dish for any meal. With the addition of jalapeno pepper, celery, and spinach, this salad not only bursts with taste but also offers a nutritious balance of ingredients. Here's how to prepare this savory chicken salad step-by-step.
- For a milder salad, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper before chopping.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking before cutting it into pieces to lock in the juices.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
- To enhance the flavor, allow the salad to marinate in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best zest and aroma.
Enjoy your homemade chicken salad with olive oil, lemon zest, and vinegar! This versatile and healthy dish can be enjoyed on its own, as a sandwich filling, or served over a bed of fresh greens. Don't hesitate to experiment with additional ingredients and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
