Last time, I
showed you how to make my personal vinaigrette dressing, the only one I ever
eat any more. https://www.mysteryloverskitchen.com/2019/08/homemade-salad-dressing.html
Now, what to
do with it.
I live alone
so I’m often cooking for just one. The quickest,
easiest thing to make, and one of my favourites to boot, is a simple chicken
salad. What could be better in
summer when the lettuce and other vegetables are so fresh and you don’t feel
like a heavy meal or having the oven on.
It is
simple. Here’s what I do. Obviously you
can add any and all salad ingredients you have on hand. I use chicken breasts. If you think they're expensive, buy the ones with bone in and de-bone them yourself. It's easy.
I use my countertop grill a LOT. You could also grill your chicken breasts in the oven under broil or on the barbeque.
Lettuce doesn't get any fresher
A few fresh from the garden vegetables
The chicken is done
I add dried cranberries and a handful of sunflower seeds for extra crunch
Toss and pour on dressing
And it's ready!
Coming
August 27! SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT, the fourth Year Round Christmas mystery from Penguin Random House. This
one is set over Thanksgiving, so there’s plenty of good eats. But maybe you
want to avoid one of the dishes in that pot luck spread. Just sayin’
The salad looks so good. Thanks for sharing it.
