What a great weekend! Took care of Christina for the weekend while the rest of the family had a softball weekend. Movie Friday, Sawdust Festival and painting on Saturday, Street Faire and pool and Fireworks on Sunday, Jelly making on Monday. Family came back, had a shrimp and burger bar-b-que and now the house is very empty. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and if you were traveling, all home safe and sound.
Today I have a recipe that I came up with several years ago for those hot summer evenings. Quick and easy, good for you and full of flavor.
CONFETTI CHICKEN SALAD
2 1/2 cups of shredded roast chicken (get one from the market)
1/2 red pepper julienned
1/2 yellow pepper julienned
1 small can of mandarin oranges drained
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1 head of bibb lettuce
DRESSING
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
juice of two lemons
zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Salt and pepper
Mix together with a whisk.
Put the chicken, peppers, oranges and almonds in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss. Place 2 large
pieces of lettuce on each plate (4) and divide the chicken salad evenly on top of the lettuce. Serve with grilled ciabatta.
Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
