CHICKEN PEAR SALAD



Chicken Pear Salad image

Rumored to be the "best salad ever", this salad was a HUGE hit at a baby shower I attended. Fortunately the hostess shared the recipe with us! I have modified and simplified the recipe but the delicious flavors and textures remain. Dressing is so yummy too! Add as needed as recipe makes a lot!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large head romaine lettuce
1 tart apple
2 ripe tart pears
4 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts
2 grilled chicken breasts
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
3/4 cup raspberry vinegar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1 small onion

Steps:

  • Tear or cut up lettuce. Cut apple and pears into bite size chunks. May use just apples or pears if desired. Add crumbled feta cheese and dried cranberries (or craisins). You can toast walnuts or use candied walnuts if you'd like. May substitute pecans or pinenuts. Shred chicken breasts and add to salad. Can also use rotisserie chicken or baked chicken.
  • For dressing combine sugar, poppy seeds, raspberry vinegar, mustard, salt, oil & onion in a food processor or blender. Refrigerate. May want to cut dressing ingredients in 1/2 as you will have a lot of dressing. Stays good in fridge for about 4 days.

A delicious salad that goes with any type of celebration. I received this recipe from my mom, and its a favorite at our family gatherings. The addition of the Craisins adds a nice sweetness to this salad. It makes plenty, so if serving for a small family, you may want to half the recipe.

CRAISIN' GREEN SALAD WITH PEARS



Craisin' Green Salad With Pears image

I developed this to go along with Recipe#379227. Remember that pears ripen from the inside out, the best way to check for ripeness is to "check the neck for ripeness". To do this, gently press near the stem with your thumb. When it gives to gentle pressure it is ripe, juicy and ready to eat. If you wait until the pear is soft around the middle chances are it will be overripe. I have also used Recipe#369334 instead of olive oil, and subbed in goat cheese or bleu cheese -all of them are good! Radicchio is bitter so be careful that you are using just a smidgeon of it. The cooking time is the resting time in the refrigerator.
