Changing Greens
Posted Tue, 07/13/04
The other day I experimented with my salad ingredients. There are only a few ways I like a luncheon bowl of greens, which can also become tiring day after day.
I spread an Italian-based salad blend on a plate, followed by a chicken salad concoction prepared as I went along:
Green Salad with Broccoli & Chicken
Italian salad blend lettuce
1 can (5 oz.) Hormel chicken, drained
4 baby carrots, sliced
1 green onion, sliced
10 green olives, sliced
1/2 C frozen broccoli, steam-cooked
1 slice provolone cheese, torn into pieces
Mayonnaise
Pinch of kosher salt
Black pepper to taste
Layer lettuce evenly on a plate. In a bowl, combine chicken, carrots, green onion, green olives, cheese pieces, mayonnaise, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside. Cook frozen broccoli according to package directions; allow to cool. Spread chicken mixture evenly atop lettuce on plate; place cooked broccoli pieces in circular pattern around chicken. Recipe makes one serving.
Because of the mayo, I didn't use a salad dressing. I mixed the chicken with all of the ingredients, aside from the broccoli, and spread it evenly on top of the lettuce. I placed the broccoli pieces in a circle around the salad, and had myself quite a meal. Even my McDonald's-loving-husband enjoyed a bite or two.
I'll convert him yet . . .
