Notes

The creamy, cheesy salad is a hit with both kids and adults, while still packing plenty of veggies. I love smoked paprika, it’s one of my most-used spices. It lends a smokey Spanish flavour to food without adding too much heat. I like to use chicken thigh for grilled recipes like this, but chicken tenders or breast would also be great.
