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 . . .
