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...
Ingredients:
Warm roasted chicken pieces (recommended: Tandoori), diced or shredded
Baby Argula
Fresh and ripe Mango, diced
Dry roasted Hazelnuts, finely crushed
Grated Parmesan cheese
Dressing:
Extra Virgin, Cold-Pressed Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, grated or shaved Parmesan Cheese, a dash of Lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Directions:
First, add olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the Baby Argula and toss. Second, add crushed hazelnuts and grated parmesan cheese and toss. Then add a dash of lemon and sprinkles of salt and pepper. Toss again. Divvy the appropriate portion of baby argula on your serving dish. Top with pieces of warm chicken, then top the chicken with pieces of diced Mango. Then sit back and enjoy!
