Your family will love it and you'll love how simple it is. Who likes spending time in the kitchen on a beautiful summer day? Personally, I do everything in my power to avoid the kitchen. My summer menu consists of a lot of grilling, cooking in big batches, cold salads (a lot of cold salads) and super simple recipes. I love cooking, but when summer rolls around I want to be enjoying the outdoors not a slave to the stove.

This fried chicken salad, is one of our summertime favorites. It’s simple, especially when you buy the chicken already fried (this is another trick to avoiding the kitchen). The salad can be served on a bed of lettuce, wrapped in a tortilla, on a couple pieces of bread, but our favorite is between to waffles. We like our chicken salad crunchy and the waffles not only taste good with it but they add a little more crunch. 

Ingredients You’ll Need:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon tobasco sauce
salt & pepper
2 cups of chicken
2 stalks celery
2 green onions
parsley, fresh
8 waffles

Tools You’ll Need:

Mixing Bowl
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Rubber Spatula
Liquid measuring cup
Chef’s Knife
Cutting Board
Toaster Oven

    Robin – ok -I have to admit, I have never done anything as fun or creative with a waffle other than eating it with my strawberry jam for breakfast – I know all the rage these days is waffles and chickens, but I haven’t tried them – this however, is so yummy looking and sounds delicious that I may have to try it soon!!! I found you at #IChooseJoy today 🙂
