chicken green apple green salad

Here’s the salad that I have been preparing for home dinners with friends and family.

Last time I made this was early December when we transferred to our new office. I made penne with creamy chicken to go with the salad for the five of us in the department. I’ll post it next. Chicken was my main ingredient for both dishes as our boss is allergic to almost all types of meat except, you guessed it – chicken.

Among the five of us, we finished the large bowl of salad which I took to be a good indication that my colleagues liked it.

Salad:
2-3 pcs Chicken breast fillet (seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme & rosemary then pan roasted)
Croutons or 1 pack Oishi bread pan
Salad Greens (packed and ready to serve)
Green apple (check that it’s fresh and crisp, sliced into strips)
Queso de bola (grated)
Seedless grapes (optional, cut into halves)

Dressing:
Any bottled ceasar salad dressing will do or if you want, you can try to make it more homemade by adding a few more ingredients and whisking them together.

Ceasar salad dressing – 4 to 5 tablespoons
Olive oil (add in slowly while whisking)
Garlic crushed – 2 to 3 cloves
Lemon juice from 2 lemons
Slankie cheese spread - 3 tablespoons
Queso de bola – 4 tablespoons
Mustard – 1 to 2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper to taste

Open the pack of greens and place in a salad bowl. Mix in the green apple strips and toss. Top with croutons, slices of roasted chicken breast fillet and halved seedless grapes, which is entirely optional. Sprinkle with grated queso de bola. Add dressing and toss just before serving.

As an aside, my hubby who hates veggies even in his Mc Chicken learned to eat salad with this recipe.
