There are a few ingredients that are a must in a good salad. The key part of picking the best ingredients is also picking a good variety of textures. Plenty of crunch and a little chew are a must.

Lemon Pepper Chicken
My Lemon Pepper Chicken pairs perfectly with Caesar Salad. It is beautifully seasoned and has that zip from the lemon that makes it taste oh so fresh. Once you have prepared your juicy piece of golden chicken, it’s time to serve. Be sure to give it a good squeeze of fresh lemon right before you serve it.
