We've been trying to eat lighter and cheaper (which is why I haven't posted anything in awhile!), so we're back with Cooking Light. Over the last week or 2 we've made 2 salads with chicken and goodies that have been surprisingly good. Especially since it has been so toasty out - these have been nice and refreshing.
Spiced Chicken and Greens with Pomegranate Dressing - We used baby spinach and added orange sections, dried cranberries, pine nuts and gorgonzola.
Dressing:
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Grilled Chicken Salad With Cherries - We used baby spinach and added pitted & halved cherries, pine nuts and gorg. We spiced up the chicken with some chili powder.
Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
