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. Servings: 6
