Chicken and Brown Rice Salad

Happy Monday Morning! The sun is shining brightly here and it makes me think of spring. (I did my best to overlook the spots of snow still hanging around in my yard.) Though I know that it could snow tomorrow, since that’s how the weather works in the Midwest, I am still looking forward to warm weather, green grass, leaves on the trees, and everything else that goes along with spring! This recipe helped to put me in the mood even more. It is light and refreshing. It’s also super easy, versatile, and will give you more time to enjoy the lovely spring-time weather!
