Warm salad with chicken and vegetables: a dish for every day and for a festive table

Chicken and vegetable salad is an ideal option for a nutritious dish that everyone will enjoy. It will be especially tasty when served warm. You don't need mayonnaise for the dressing, because it will be much healthier to combine olive oil, honey, and mustard.
