WHAT CAN I BRING? Grilled Chicken Salad With Raspberry Vinaigrette
> Perfect for: Potlucks, picnics, easy suppers.
> Make and take: Assemble everything but the dressing ahead of time, and then serve the dressing on the side. Or just throw all the packaged ingredients in a grocery bag, grab a big salad bowl, and assemble the salad at your destination.
> Made famous by: Lorraine Grubba of Safety Harbor, Fla., who brings this salad to casserole-laden potlucks as a light alternative. "People really like the 'healthy salad' vs. the 'hearty casseroles, '" she said.
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 10 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
2 (10-ounce) bags spring salad mix
1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 (6-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
8 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 (2 1/4-ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
2 (10-ounce packages) precooked sliced chicken breast, any style
1 cup raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
Instructions:
In a large serving bowl, arrange the salad greens, and then top with the cucumber, artichoke hearts, blue cheese, black olives, tomatoes and chicken. Serve the salad dressing on the side
Notes:
> Tip: "Salads always look best when served in clear serving bowls, with cucumbers lined on the inside of the bowl for show, " Grubba said. Her favorite brand of dressing is Ken's Steak House Lite Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette.
Lorraine Grubba marinates 3 to 4 chicken breast halves overnight in Italian dressing, then grills the chicken and slices it in 1/2-inch-thick strips. But we like to make this salad even simpler with precooked, sliced chicken from the grocery store.
