Let’s Make It!

Make the Dressing: Start by combining all of your dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Once it's mixed up, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. Giving the dressing a little time to hang out helps all those bright, tangy flavors come together.
Make the Parmesan Crisps: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese with any additional herbs or seasonings you're using. Divide the mixture into four equal piles on the baking sheet, leaving a little room between each one.
Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven. They may still look bubbly at first, but don't worry—that's part of the process.
Let them cool for a minute or two until they crisp up, then carefully remove them with a metal spatula.
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken generously with Dan-O's Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Cook until golden, juicy, and fully cooked through, then slice or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Build the Salad: In a large salad bowl, add your greens and top with fresh dill, red onion, tomatoes, and pieces of seasoned chicken.
Pour the dressing over the salad and finish with the Parmesan crisps, then serve immediately. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!®
