FRUITY NUTTY CHICKEN SALAD (NON-FASTING)

This is a very quick recipe to throw together, with results that taste like you've spent a good deal of time in the kitchen.  I made it last week, and my dear husband found it to be both filling and delicious, something I'm not always able to achieve when I'm attempting to use what is at hand and I'm "on the fly".  Perhaps one day it just might "save your bacon" too.

Salad ingredients:

2 pre-cooked boneless, skinless chicken

breasts, cut into 1" pieces

OR

The white breast meat from a large,

pre-cooked chicken, cut into 1" pieces

3-4 scallion onions, chopped fine,

including tenderest part of the greens

Walnuts (glazed or otherwise), chopped

OR your favorite nuts, chopped

2 large celery ribs, sliced on the diagonal

1 to 1/2 cups red or green grapes,

sliced in half (red is prettier)

For the dressing:

1 to 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
(depending on how much meat you have)

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Sweetener of your choice:

Stevia, honey, or ? to taste

Whip together, fold gently into above

ingredients in a large bowl

Presentation:

I finely cut Romaine lettuce and place it into

the bottom of a large, shallow salad bowl,
or on a pretty plate.

Spoon equal portions of chicken 

mixture onto top of greens.

Top this with parts of a nice, sliced orange.

The one pictured is a blood orange, in season

right now--BTW, they have a very short season

if you like them--lovely contrast, tasty too.

Enjoy!

Another keeper.
