Warm Chicken Salad with Baby Argula, Mango & Hazelnuts
Hey salad lovers, I was throwing together a quickie dinner the other day and, by serendipity, created a yummy one.
Didn't cook the chicken, of course -- I live in New York City. Bought a great Tandoori roasted chicken from Zabar's (natural, cage-free, no hormones), most of which my husband and I had devoured the night before. However, there were a couple of sections left, so I diced and shredded the left-over, thinking I would add it to our salad. Then, as I gropped around the inside of my Frig for the Baby Argula (prewashed & organic), I came across a Mango, and thought, "Eureka!" This is probably just the thing to top the warm chicken salad. And I was right. Our taste buds were smiling from ear to ear during dinner that night. So I thought I'd share this recipe with you...

Dressing
All our salads are dressed, to taste, with Extra Virgin, Cold-Pressed Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, grated or shaved Parmesan Cheese, and a dash of Lemon (or, try a dash of orange for variety – you’ll need a slightly bigger dash, though, as the orange flavor is more subtle)...

13/07: Tasty & Nutrient Packed: Salmon, Prawn Noodle, Peach, Pear & Avocado Salads From Europe’s Expert
When in Paris, I noticed how lovely and thin is the average Parisian. What is the secret? It certainly wasn’t dieting, I thought, since they all love to eat. After visiting London as well, and upon watching what Europeans eat, the key, it seemed to me, was the choice in foods, rather than dieting.
A couple of weeks ago, I came across these tasty, healthy salad recipes, including dressings, that I’d like to share with you: Salmon, Prawn Noodle, Peach, Pear and Avocado. They come from UK’s popular nutritionist, Dr. Wynnie Chan.
