Add a photoPerfect for fall garden harvests, this main dish salad is lightly dressed with lime and cilantro. It's based on a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens several years back, but I have simplified some steps and tweaked measurements a little. A pleasing and light combo of meat, fruit and vegetables. Just add crackers or a roll, and glass of ice tea to complete.
Ingredientes
- 2 cups cooked chicken chopped in large pieces (leftover roast chicken works well)
- 2 cups cubed cantaloupe
- 1 cup very finely chopped peeled seeded cucumber
- 1 cup very finely chopped zucchini
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons salad oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper (I had to use black but white is best)
Direcciones
- In large mixing bowl toss together the chicken, cantaloupe, cucumber, zucchini, green onions and cilantro.
- In screw-top jar combine lime juice, oil, water, sugar, salt and pepper; shake well.
- Drizzle 1/2 cup of the dressing over chicken mixture; toss lightly to coat. (Chill remaining dressing for another use.)
- Spoon into serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro or mint sprig.
