This light and summery salad is incredibly easy to make. Either use chicken that you have cooked and ready or stop by the market for a rotisserie chicken. Let the chicken soak in the dressing while you put together the other ingredients so it can take on that sweet honey flavour that makes this salad so nice.

For the salad:
• 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken

For the dressing:
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsps honey or agave nectar
• 1 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar

Preparation
• To make the dressing: In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, honey, and vinegar. While whisking, drizzle in oil; add salt and pepper to taste. Fresh thyme is a great finishing touch. Place the shredded chicken in the dressing while you prepare the salad, about five minutes.

• Add grated parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.
