MEXICAN SALAD WITH HONEY LIME DRESSING



Mexican Salad With Honey Lime Dressing image

I found this at the MyFoodDiary.com forums, but originally it comes from SELF magazine. The original salad used radishes, but I substitute green onions instead. Healthy fats in this salad, but I've also reduced the amount of oil in the dressing. Sometimes I eat the leftovers in a tortilla as a sort of veggie or salad wrap.

NONNA'S TUSCAN SALAD DRESSING



Nonna's Tuscan Salad Dressing image

This very light, fresh dressing works equally well on mixed greens, spinach or romaine, or just drizzled over sliced, fresh, ripe summer tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Quick and easy to make fresh, but stores well for up to 3 months in the refrigerator. It's a family recipe brought over from the old country by my nonna (grandma.)

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon canola oil
red pepper flakes, to taste

lemon pepper, to taste
granulated garlic, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the chicken breasts to the pan and generously sprinkle the spices over, to taste. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn to medium-low.

  • When the breasts have turned opaque on top (approximately five minutes -- time will vary), turn over and re-season with just the lemon pepper and the garlic.
  • Recover and continue to simmer til done -- approximately 5-10 minutes, adding a teaspoon or two more water if necessary.
