Salad:
2 cups of mixed salad greens
Leftover chicken breast from Brussel Sprouts Gone Balsamic with Chicken and Mushrooms
1/4 cup beets, sliced
1 Tbsp chopped black walnuts
1/2 orange
On a plate, or in a bowl, layer the first four ingredients as you wish. Leave chicken breast whole, or slice on the diagonal. With the halved orange, gently supreme the sections of the orange and garnish the top of the salad with 2-4 sections (the more the better!). Dress with Orange-Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows).
This is a salad built for one, but would be great for lunch with a friend or two. Just double, triple the quantity of each ingredient as necessary - same for the vinaigrette!
Dressing:
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp walnut or extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 orange, squeezed
salt & pepper - just a dash
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Drizzle atop Chicken, Beet and Walnut Salad, or save and use on future salads!
