The other day I needed a quick meal so I tossed together some things I found in the fridge to make a quick salad and it turned out SO delicious that I have to share it. In case you haven’t noticed, goat cheese and pinons (pine nuts) have become essential ingredients in my house. They add a touch of elegance and a funky taste to so many different kinds of dishes!
Peach & Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- Mixed greens
- 1 peach, pit removed, sliced and cut into chunks
- 1 chicken patty chopped into chunks. I used a breaded chicken patty left over, but you could use a grilled chicken breast or any cooked chicken meat. This is a great way to use leftover chicken!
- Vidalia or red onion slices
- Goat cheese crumbles
- Pine nuts, toasted
- Oriental vinaigrette (recipe below)
Directions:
- Fill your salad bowl about 2/3 – 3/4 full with mixed greens.
- Toss on the other ingredients.
- Drizzle with oriental dressing
