My daughter had recently bought a few too many limes for another recipe she was making. So I decided I better find a way to use them. I had this Cumin Lime Chicken Salad recipe lying around the house in an old cook book and I thought I would give it a try.
At first I wasn’t sure I would love my chicken being marinated in mostly lime and cumin, but when the salad was thrown together I absolutely loved it! My family ate it up super fast! I’m really glad I gave this Cumin Lime Chicken Salad recipe a try and look forward to making it again soon.
