Ingredients:

8 cups romaine lettuce , torn up (or mixed greens)
2 medium ripe papayas, peeled, seeded and cut up into cubes
1 large red bell pepper , cut into 2-inch thin slices
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh lovage, stems and leaves, minced (optional)
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken, cooked, cut into bite size pieces (read *note) or 3/4 lb firm tofu ( read *note)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp fresh chicken broth
1 tbsp clover honey, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dijon mustard , to taste
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

In a glass measuring cup whisk together the lime juice, broth, honey, garlic and mustard. Slowly add the olive oil by pouring into the measuring cup and whisking until blended. Adjust seasonings, adding a bit of salt and pepper.
Pour the salad dressing over the salad, toss gently, then add the chicken and toss some more. Top salad with 2 tablespoons of the toasted pecans and serve the remaining pecans on side as garnish.
