Short on time? Rotisserie chicken is a time saver in this hearty dinner salad. Feel free to substitute your favorite lettuces for the herb salad or mixed greens. Ingredients:
1 clove garlic |
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil |
1 Tbsp red-wine vinegar |
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves |
1 medium firm-ripe pear, peeled, cored |
1/3 cup dried tart cherries |
8 oz packaged herb salad or mixed baby greens |
2 cups shredded cooked chicken |
1/2 cup pecans, toasted |
Kosher salt |
Freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Chop the garlic, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and mash to a paste with the flat side of a chef's knife. Put the paste in a large serving bowl and whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Gently stir in the pear and cherries. Add the greens, chicken, and pecans and toss to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper and serve immediately.
