This Moroccan chicken salad is one of my favorite go to meals when I want something that feels fancy but comes together in under an hour. The best part is how simple it really is, just roasted chicken tossed with crisp vegetables, creamy feta, and a bright lemon dressing infused with warming Moroccan spices. I love that almonds add such a satisfying crunch plus they're packed with heart healthy fats that make this salad genuinely nourishing. It's perfect for meal prep or throwing together on a busy weeknight since most of the work is just chopping and whisking.
