Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing

Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing makes a cool, crisp, refreshing salad topped with zesty flavorful Blackened Chicken and a creamy Cajun Creole Dressing.

Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing

To me, nothing is better than a cool, crisp, refreshing salad topped with my slightly spicy Cajun Blackened Chicken and combined with a cool, creamy ranch salad dressing with a Cajun Creole kick! Like my Blackened Fish Tacos, it is tasty, refreshing, and light!

I recommend making this salad later in the week after you have made the Cajun Blackened Chicken recipe. That makes this salad a snap to throw together as an easy weeknight dinner.

Also with the weather getting warmer, this cool refreshing Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing means you don’t have to heat up the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal.

In Southeast Texas, where the temperatures rise into the 90’s and 100’s, the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove or oven and heat up the kitchen.

If I tell Mr. Flavor Mosaic that we are having a salad for dinner, he is going to ask me what else is being served with the salad? He is generally not a salad guy. He is more of a meat and potatoes guy. However, even he loves the spicy kick of this Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing.

My other favorite part of this Blackened Chicken Salad is the creamy Cajun Creole Dressing. It is a cool, creamy ranch dressing, but with a zesty Cajun Creole kick that is bursting with flavor.

Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing

I recommend making the Cajun Blackened Chicken a staple at your house like it is at our house. Then it is easy to add it to other recipes, such as this Blackened Chicken Salad with a Cajun Creole Dressing for a quick, cool, refreshing weeknight dinner.

Stay tuned for more recipes to be made with the Cajun Blackened Chicken.
