New Summer Recipe: Green Goddess Chicken Salad

New Summer Recipe: Green Goddess Chicken Salad

When Bethenny Frankel can’t stop talking about something, we listen. In this case, it’s chicken salad—and we get why she’s obsessed with this simple but hearty staple. It’s a summer classic for a reason. You can serve it for lunch or dinner, and bring it to the beach, barbecue or potluck. Use leftover grilled chicken or use a rotisserie chicken to make it super simple. The best part? You can use whatever you have in your fridge to customize it. Below, we’re sharing a delicious version from Habitual Hostess that features their signature Green Goddess dressing. As Bethenny would say, it’s devoon!
