Ingredients
Chicken Breast, no skin, grilled and cut into thin strips Certified Organic Spring Mix / Mesclun, 2 cups Walnuts, 0.5 oz (approx. 1 handful) balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, 1 tbsp Bell Peppers- one large yellow or orange cut into strips Vidalia onions, one half, sliced
If you like, you can drizzle chicken with a bit of olive oil and maple syrup before putting it on the grill.
In a small skillet, saute onion and bell peppers with a bit of olive oil until softened but not completely limp. At this point, add approx. 1 tsp maple syrup and the walnut halves, coating the peppers and onions. Turn heat off when most of the liquid is burned off and walnuts are slightly toasted. (about 2 minutes)
Mix 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 2 tsp maple syrup to make your dressing using more or less balsamic vinegar to taste. I like my dressing tangy.
On a large plate, lay sauted vegatable/walnut mixture over the mesclun greens, drizzle with dressing, then place chicken strips on top. Enjoy!
Serving Size: Makes salad to serve one.
