Refreshing Meals for Hot Summer Days

Light, refreshing meals come in clutch for hot days. Today I'm going to share 3 of our family dinners, using leftover chicken that the entire family will is sure to love. Chicken salad, chicken caesar salad, and a lettuce salad featuring chicken, bacon, apples and more will provide a lot of flexibility, while keeping the oven turned off!

Smoother great video and wonderful tips! How long do you find your homemade mayo lasts? I know it has a raw egg - is it enough just for that one meal? Or can you eat it with leftovers the following day?

[@thehometownhomestead]

We use it a day or 2. It usually doesn’t last long!

Why the essential oil instead of a fresh lemon?

[@thehometownhomestead]

First reason is that the essential oil is shelf stable and one bottle will last me a very long time. 3 drops is all you need, which leads to the 2nd reason. I can get the flavor without watering down a dish with the actual juice. I’ve used the eo for over a decade as a shortcut to save time and live as one thing that I don’t have to keep on hand fresh. I do buy bottled lemon juice and have used it often to make mayo, but when I want to turn up the brightness of a dish without the extra liquid content, I love the EO.
