Being from Vermont, the nation's leading maple syrup-producing state, I use pure maple syrup for a special sweet taste. By adding chicken, this salad can be a light main course. â Vicky McClain, St. Albans, Vermont Ingredients:
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 medium grapefruit, peeled and sectioned |
1 medium lemon, peeled and sectioned |
2 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced |
1 cup halved seedless red grapes |
2 cups cubed cooked chicken, optional |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup cashews |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large bowl, combine the tortellini, fruit and chicken if desired.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the syrup and orange juice; pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with cashews just before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
