Honey Mustard Chicken Salad
This recipe is really all about the marinade; I use it on chicken, steak, fish, pork, and also use it as a salad dressing. It's quick and easy to mix up and uses basic pantry staple ingredients that don't cost an arm and a leg.

Note
If you've been here long you know that I love a big salad full of flavor and toppings. When I saw this one from Cafe Delites I knew without a doubt I had to recreate it. It's a perfect salad for fall with the warm honey and ground mustard flavors but I have to confess, I make it year round!
