    13 Quick Salads for Chicken Casserole

    Published: Sep 14, 2020 · Modified: Sep 24, 2021 by The Devil Wears Salad

    A good homemade chicken casserole is like being wrapped up in a warm blanket. A flavoursome hot meal that needs a good salad to round it off. These quick salads make the perfect companion.

    We love how the traditional chicken casserole of chicken, celery, potatoes, onions and carrots has evolved so much over time that the combinations of ingredients you can now put in your recipe is almost endless.

    I love all the different recipes such as chicken, pancetta and barley, chicken, puy lentils and mushrooms or even the chicken, broccoli and jalapenos. But no matter the combinations, the beauty of a good chicken casserole is how easy it is to make.

    Love being able to just add everything into the casserole dish or Dutch oven and in the oven it goes where all the hard work gets done.

    As the glorious smell of your cooking wafts through the kitchen for the afternoon, it’s time to prepare a couple of quick salads to serve with it. As these salads take 20 minutes or less to make, you might like to try a few of these salad recipes.

    This collection of quick salads include recipes which don’t require any cooking at all, salads with interesting ingredients such as tamarillos and also salads that include refreshing fruit to balance out the rich flavours of the chicken casserole.

      I’m pretty excited about trying all of these. I’m especially curious about Tamari seeds. I don’t get nearly enough edible flowers in, either. We used to eat squash blossoms a lot, so I’m totally in for adding zucchini flowers to my salad.
