Cape Cod Chicken Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing

Memorial Day is just around the corner and with that comes summer fun, get togethers and, of course, outdoor entertaining. One of my favorite things to bring to a summer picnic or potluck is a delicious salad recipe and this Cape Cod Chicken Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing is not only delicious, packed with flavor, but also a bit lighter thanks to a tangy and sweet Honey Yogurt Dressing.

For bakeware, you not only get their 9×13” baking pan with matching lid, but also an 8×8” baking dish, a 9” pie dish and a loaf pan that is fantastic to bake up a loaf of my summer favorite Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread.

For their SNAP Storage, you get a variety of bowls with matching leak-proof lids – a 1-cup bowl, two 2-cup bowls and a 4 cup bowl, perfect for your favorite side dishes. This set is a must for the kitchen!

Not only can I bake the chicken for this salad in their 9×13” pan, but I can then bring the Cape Cod Chicken Salad to a picnic in one of their 8×8” pans with its raised plastic lids. I can nestle the other side dishes in the well made storage bowls, like my scrumptious Blueberry Quinoa Salad that was a great side dish, along with some fresh arugula, perfect for nestling the chicken salad in a flaky croissant.

I have to confess – I’ve been hesitant with using glass dishes for baking and tend to lean towards using stoneware after a bad experience years ago. However, OXO uses thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass which is not only sturdy but can go from freezer to oven or microwave without cracking. The raised lid also won’t squish anything contained within which is always a good thing especially when I have my favorite spicy smoky s’more bars contained within. I don’t want to sacrifice a crumb of that chocolate marshmallow goodness to a too tight lid. Also, the bakeware has wide handles that work fabulously with even the fluffiest oven mitt.

Before I write a missive on my new favorite dish set, let me tell you about this Cape Cod Chicken Salad. I first had one similar to this during my Florida days. They tend to sell it at one of those big box stores. However,  whenever I would buy a container, some sadly would go to waste because you would have to discard after 5 days and who can eat 3 pounds of chicken salad in that time frame?  Not this gal.  Thankfully this chicken salad recipe makes a much smaller amount plus there are no funny ingredients that won’t make you want to pick up a dictionary to figure out what it is.  Also, as I do with many of my salads. I made it a bit lighter with a yogurt dressing instead of a ton of mayo so this is a chicken salad you will find yourself making often.
