crispy chicken & pickle salad
Dill pickle lovers where ya at?! Iโve been seeing the Taylor Farms Dill Pickle Salad all over Instagram, but Iโve been unable to find it where I shop. SO, I decided to make it for myself & it did not disappoint! To make things easier (and less chopping), I found a โRainbow Saladโ at the grocery store with kale, red and white cabbage, broccoli, and carrot shreds to combine with romaine lettuce. You could also buy all those things separately and chop them up to create your own! Serves one.
