Re: Salads
My current favorite salad--it just makes me smile every time we eat it. perfect for summer, so fresh and delicious and healthy! It's a lot like the California Chicken Salad at O'Charleys. DH likes it with raspberry vinaigrette, but I prefer homemade poppyseed dressing.
the salad:
spinach
grilled chicken
sliced strawberries
sweet onion
carmelized pecans (just heat up sugar in a pan on the stove and stir in some pecans)
(dried cranberries, optional)
the dressing:
3/4 c. sugar
1 t. salt
1 t. poppy seeds
1 t. mustard
1/3 c. lime or lemon juice
1/4 c. vinegar
1 c. oil
Blend or shake vigorously, adding oil last.
another good salad to have with this dressing:
spinach/lettuce
mandarin oranges
sweet onion
croutons
chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, whatever you like)
