Pick up fried chicken at the grocery store or save a few pieces from your last homemade batch to whip up this summer-fresh salad in a hurry. A rainbow of vegetables, including corn, red pepper, celery, and lima beans, gives this one-dish meal flavor and a hearty dose of color. Top with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and serve with a glass of iced tea. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
3 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off the cob (about 1 1/2 cups) |
1/2 red pepper, finely chopped (1/2 cup) |
1 stalk celery, finely chopped (1/2 cup |
1 1/2 cups lima beans, thawed if frozen |
2 bunches watercress, stems removed |
8 to 10 pieces fried chicken, meat (with skin) taken off the bone |
