You guys, I have a serious salad addiction. Every single time we have Sunday dinner with my in-laws I ask what to bring, my MIL says I can bring anything I want, and then I bring a salad. Every. single. time. But that’s not even the half of it because that’s just a Sunday dinner thing – we have a salad with or for dinner every weeknight too. It’s my go-to for an easy main dish or side. And I’m being one hundred percent honest when I tell you that we are having salad for dinner tonight. The addiction is real. I would say that I make my own salad dressing about 2/3 of the time. The truth is that there are a few store-bought salad dressings that make their way into my basket on a regular basis because I just love them so darn much and ninety percent of the time, those salad dressings are from the cold section. I always feel a little better about using cold salad dressings because they don’t have all of those extra preservatives to keep them shelf-stable and in reality, I just think they taste better so when The Marzetti® Brand asked if I would be interested in collaborating on a salad using one of their new Simply Dressed dressings, I was like YESSSSSSS – I have a bottle of your dressing in my fridge right this second. Do I want to blabber on about a salad dressing I already purchase and use on a regular basis? Uh, YEAH. No brainer. So here’s the fun thing about this salad – you cook the chicken in the dressing AND top the salad with it. GENIUS RIGHT?!? Okay got a little excited there. But really, there’s so much flavor going on in this salad with the balsamic chicken + apples + strawberries + nuts + crumbled cheese + mooorrrrre creamy balsamic on top that I can’t help but get a little over the top about this one. And we’ve already established that I’m a crazy salad-obsessed cuckoo person so over the top was to be expected. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The Marzetti® Brand. The opinions and text are all mine.
