Full of Flavors and Textures!
Along with smoked chicken and avocado, this salad consists of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a rich Grana Padano cheese. The cucumber and cherry tomatoes, along with the red onion, will add a crunchiness and a crispness to the salad. The avocado adds a richness and a creaminess the salad, and creates more substance too. For this salad, smoked chicken is used. This adds depth to the salad in that there is an added smokey flavor to complement the fresh ingredients and the tangy honey mustard dressing.
What is Grana Padano Cheese?
We are so glad you asked! Grana Padano is an artisanal hard cheese that hails from northern Italy and is similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano. It has a mild, savory, creamy, and nutty flavor with a flakey texture. This cheese will add a distinct flavor to your salad, and due to its flakey texture, will make the loveliest shavings to complement the other ingredients.
Serve this salad as a side for a main meal, or enjoy it as a light meal on its own- it is certainly not dull and will be a delight for the palate!
