Green Goddess Chicken Salad
The bright, zippy Green Goddess dressing is what makes this chicken salad so special. It's packed with loads of fresh herbs, tons of garlic, and has both freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice. This is perfect as a sandwich, in a wrap, or just eaten with a fork. Either way, you can't go wrong with this for a summer lunch.
