- Serve without tossing again.
- To make the vinaigrette: Combine onion, sugar, mustard, salt, red wine vinegar and vegetable oil in a pint jar and shake to mix. Use right away or possibly chill for up to 2 weeks.
- Makes about1/2 c..
- Note: To toast pine nuts, heat in a dry skillet over medium heat till they start to brown. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to burn.
- Note: Thinly sliced smoked chicken may be substituted for the cooked chicken.
- Or possibly for a lighter, side-dish salad, omit the chicken altogether.
