I will buy those spiral multi-colored noodles and chop up any veggies I'm feeling, throw in some cheese chunks or feta, maybe some diced turkey or ham, and whatever bottled salad dressing I have on hand. Turns out good every time. Not as healthy as greens, but the epitomy of summer to me. :-)Ariel @ Dreams To Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994615202195955549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727368894424244969.post-15240257189892358492011-06-28T09:06:54.978-07:002011-06-28T09:06:54.978-07:00Raspberry Vinaigrette (raspberries, walnuts, red o...<a href="http://adaywithlilmama.blogspot.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-salad-raspberry.html" rel="nofollow">Raspberry Vinaigrette </a>(raspberries, walnuts, red onions, spinach...)Lil Mama Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311577182493946745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727368894424244969.post-67218948258039528712011-06-28T08:55:36.343-07:002011-06-28T08:55:36.343-07:00I think this is a Rachael Rae recipe, but I am not...I think this is a Rachael Rae recipe, but I am not certain. I don't have a link for it. I don't eat chicken, but the rest of my crew does. The salad is yummy for me even w/o the meat.<br /><br />Citrus-marinated Chicken and Orange Salad <br />3 oranges <br />3 garlic cloves, chopped <br />7 T extra virgin olive oil <br />1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), plus a large pinch for the dressing <br />Salt and freshly ground pepper <br />4 6-8oz boneless, skinless chicken breast halves <br />1 large head of radicchio <br />1 small red onion, thinly sliced <br />1 bunch of arugula, stemmed and thoroughly cleaned <br />3 sprigs fresh oregano, stripped of leaves then chopped <br />2 T honey<br /> 1 heaping tsp dijon mustard <br />4 thick slices crusty bread <br /><br />Zest 2 of the 3 oranges and put the orange zest in a large, shallow dish. Juice half an orange and add to the zest. To the zest and juice, add the garlic, 3 T of EVOO, then 1/4 tsp cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat thoroughly, and let marinate for 5 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, cut the skin and white pith from the 2 remaining whole oranges, being sure to remove it all. Slice the oranges into disks and place in a salad bowl. Cut the radicchio in quarters through the core, cut the core of from each quarter, and then thinly slice the radicchio and add to oranges. Add the red onions and arugula. To make the dressing, juice the other half orange into a small bowl and add the pinch of cayenne, the oregano, honey, and mustard. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the the 4 remaining tablespoons of EVOO. Transfer the marinated chicken to the grill and cook on each side for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Lightly toast the bread. Thinly slice the grilled chicken on an angle, add to the salad, and then pour the dressing over. Toss to combine and serve with the toasted bread. Serves 4. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br />Notes: I've used dried oregano and it was just fine. Also, I used a spring salad mix or a spinach instead of radicchio w/ the arugula. Still yummy.Karrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171020066462893299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727368894424244969.post-86978283124691621802011-06-28T08:43:53.715-07:002011-06-28T08:43:53.715-07:00This arugula, grapefruit, & avocado salad from...This arugula, grapefruit, & avocado salad from Bob Greene's Best Life cookbook.
