This is the first of several meals that we’ll make using part of a rotisserie chicken. Feel free to roast your own, but I chose rotisserie chicken because it’s a time saver. Central Market’s chicken is made with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. No funky ingredients.
Feel free to make substitutions. The salad below has carrots, but I swapped strawberries for the carrots and decided that was the way to go.
I think you’ll be making the turmeric almond butter dressing again and again.
No need to prep for this one. You’ll need a blender for the dressing.
See you Sunday!
Enjoy!
