Rainbow Chicken Salad with Ginger Dressing

Rainbow Chicken Salad

Adults will love this colorful salad, but it’s also easy to adapt it for little ones: simply set aside some of the vegetable matchsticks and serve them with the tenders on their own, or with the dressing as a dipping sauce. Or cook up a batch of chicken nuggets to go with!
