Can you ever have too many ways to make a chicken salad? We don't think so, and using our Cascade Mushroom Mix in the marinade makes it even easier to come up with new versions.

The umami in this mix creates magic in marinades and plays well with other blends, too! For this Mediterranean chicken salad, we paired the mushroom mix with Herbes de Provence, a delicious French herb blend that loves chicken.

To round out the salad and add color, crunch and rich flavor, we used kale, broccoli and pine nuts. This is a perfect lunch for a lazy weekend day.
