Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups gourmet mixed salad greens
1 cup diced peeled cucumber
6 medium green onions, sliced (6 tablespoons)
2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz)
5 chicken breast tenders (about 1 lb)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped, toasted

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper with wire whisk. Slowly add olive oil, stirring constantly with whisk until smooth; set aside.
  • In large bowl, mix salad greens, cucumber, onions, cranberries and cheese. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
  • Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dip chicken in egg; coat with bread crumbs.
  • In 12-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry chicken, in 2 batches, in oil 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Cut each tender crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Toss salad with 1/3 cup of the dressing; add walnuts and toss gently. Divide salad among 10 plates; top with chicken. Drizzle with desired amount of remaining dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less dried cranberries next time.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I used feta instead. It was still delicious.
