(See Below)
|
This sweet and spicy main-dish salad features the fire of chilies and the spark of habaneros combined with fragrant canned peaches that are packed with vitamin A and C.
Ingredients:
For the Habanero Peach Vinaigrette dressing:
1 can (about 15 ounces) peach halves or slices in juice, drained (1/2 cup juice reserved)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground habanero pepper
For the salad:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 bags (about 9 ounces each) cleaned baby spinach leaves
1 cup chopped, toasted walnuts
3 ounces crumbled blue cheese or chevre (optional)*
Preparation:
To make the dressing, purée all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Place the chicken in a plastic zipper bag. Add half the dressing (3/4 cup), seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, no more than 8 hours.
Preheat a grill for direct grilling, medium heat.
Soak the onion in ice water for at least 10 minutes; drain.
Grill the chicken until browned on both sides, firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of the thickest piece of chicken registers 170°F.
Toss the spinach, onions, walnuts and cheese with the remaining 3/4 cup dressing. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange on top of the salad.
