I just made this for the first time tonight with leftover chicken, and it is absolutely delicious! The dressing especially is awesome - can't beat 2 ingredients! The whole recipe is really fast, easy and nutritious too.
Pear, gorgonzola and chicken salad with berry vinaigrette*
Serves 2 for a main dish - easy to halve, double or triple
4-5 cups lettuce of choice (we had romaine and baby spinach)
1 c. cooked, sliced chicken
1/2 pear, thinly sliced (eat the rest for a snack!)
2 T. crumbled gorgonzola cheese
2 T. nuts (we had almonds)
Black pepper
1.5 T berry jam (we had blackberry)
1.5 T. balsamic vinegar
In individual bowls, layer lettuce, chicken, pear, gorgonzola and nuts. Sprinkle with pepper.
Combine jam and balsamic vinegar in a small microwave-save bowl and microwave for 10 seconds; combine with a fork or small whisk. Top salad with dressing and enjoy!
* This recipe was heavily inspired by Susannah Locketti's Endive and Pear Salad in Food Network magazine.
Always looking for low sodium dressing. This has none and sounds delicious - and so easy it is just for me! Can't wait to try it.
