This is the salad I make when I want a lot of compliments. It is divine! I have requests for the recipe EVERY time I make it.
Sorry about the picture. I took it when the dressing had been in the salad for a few hours. We all know what lettuce looks like when that happens!
Mixed greens (red lettuce, romaine, baby spinach)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 c. toasted sliced almonds
1 pint strawberries, sliced
1-2 chicken breasts
Cook chicken until done, cool, then cut into thin slices. Fry in some oil until brown. While browning add 1/4 c. of the dressing so the chicken marinates/glazes.
Melt 1-2 Tb. brown sugar in a pan. Mix in almonds till coated, removed from pan and separate so they are not in clumps.
Dressing:
1/3 c. raspberry wine vinegar
3/4 c. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 - 1t. ginger (fresh) chopped fine
1/4 c. honey
1 t. soy sauce
Blend well
Mix greens, onions, strawberries and chicken.
Right before serving add dressing and top with toasted almonds
