It’s nearly Memorial Day! I cannot wait! Although, we usually do something as a family every year for Memorial Day, this year we are going away for a bit, which I am just ecstatic about. It’s been a very long time since we have had time to get away and really unplug for the weekend.

I intend to soak up a lot of sun and enjoy some boating and lots of fun with friends. In the meantime though, I wouldn’t want to leave you without the perfect outdoor entertaining recipe, right?

This year, I have really been getting into making appetizers for guests before dinner is ready. I typically have dinner almost done as guests arrive; however, sometimes when grilling it takes a bit longer than expected. That means a good appetizer is just the ticket.

This past week, I picked up HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast, Chunk Chicken, to make a delicious Chicken Salad. I love making this with the HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast because not only is it affordable but it’s also so easy and adds a great protein to this tasty treat.

Once I have my chicken drained and ready to go, I place it in a bowl mixed with Mayo and a few of my favorite veggies and spices. Then, I top it over cleaned and grilled zucchini.

Top it with a little shaved Parmesan cheese and parsley to garnish, and then show it off to your guests! If you want to you can even add a few sweet peppers to it as well for a little extra crunch and flavor.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I can use garden fresh produce too. That really makes this perfect for outdoor entertaining during the summer and a great appetizer or side dish for Memorial Day too.
