We like this simple-to-make salad with honey bread or rolls for a simple summer supper, but it would also be wonderful at a ladies luncheon or brunch. Recipe source: local newspaper
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 cups mixed salad greens
1 quart strawberry, sliced
2 pears, sliced
2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted
3/4 cup pear juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (or other spicy mustard)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons raspberry vinegar
Directions:
1. Prepare Vinaigrette dressing (or use bottled Raspberry Vinaigrette) by placing vinaigrette (pear nectar- salt) in a jar and shake until blended.
2. Combine chicken and 1/2 cup dressing in a large zip lock bag or marinating dish. Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Remove chicken from marinade, discard marinade.
4. Grill or broil chicken, covered over medium high heat, for 5-10 minutes on each side or until done. Let chicken stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
5. Place salad greens and next five ingredients (strawberries- pecan halves) in large salad bowl, toss. Add chicken to bowl. Toss. Add remaining dressing to bowl (if using bottled about 1/2 cup).
