Honey Dijon Chicken Salad with Brie and Walnuts

This is one of my favourite ways to turn a great healthy salad into a full and satisfying workday dinner. That is especially true during grilling season.

That’s when I can add something tasty off the grill to an interesting combination of salad ingredients for a delicious mix of tastes and textures.

We generally use organic honey in our recipes.

I’ve used a smooth dijon mustard here but whole grain is very good too.

This one was particularly good when we added Honey Dijon Chicken to a terrific salad. It included ripe fruit, creamy brie and crunchy toasted walnuts.

It was a fantastic mix and one I’ll definitely be making again.

TIP:

Deboned chicken breasts for Honey Dijon Chicken Salad with Brie and Walnuts.

I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.
