The atmosphere out here in the world is a bit ominous to say the least. If you weren’t out buying 100 rolls of toilet paper, were you even doomsday prepping? Jokes.
But for real, do not overbuy!
I am sure that a lot of people may have hit the store at the right time and were able to snag maybe a rotisserie chicken. Hopefully.
This salad has a lot of good for you greens and veggies that work so well mixed with the umami-packed balsamic vinaigrette.
Weren’t lucky enough to snag a rotisserie chicken?
You can always add in either the idiot-proof chicken from Serena or my easy Instant Pot shredded chicken from the first cookbook.
Let’s talk about this house salad now that the chicken is out of the way.
House salad with rotisserie chicken has green beans, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, pears, and baby greens. It all comes together with a balsamic vinaigrette that features a little soy sauce and tahini to round it out.
I washed the greens, steamed the green beans, and did all my chopping ahead of time. Mix the vinaigrette ahead of time as well.
That way when I wanted to eat the salad, all I had to do was mix it all together.
Store the vinaigrette in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before mixing it and adding it to the salad.
This is the perfect small lunch salad or big dinner salad.
The greens and veggies will help to keep you sane and healthy during this time. Keeping your sanity while stuck as home is a whole other thing I can’t even get into because I am struggling and it has only been one day.
