Tasty Thursday ~ Healthy recipes
Trista over at The Pumpkin Patch has started a Tasty Thursday meme that I think is a great idea! Now grab the button and share one of your “Tried and True” recipes with us.
This week Trista says: “Now we all now that about 90% of us women made a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight or at least eat healthier in the New Year. So, I figured what better way to help that along than getting everyone to share their “Tried and True” recipes that are HEALTHY!!”
Chicken Berry Salad
1 (.75 ounce) packet honey mustard salad dressing mix
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
8 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
8 ounces sugar snap peas
1/2 cup toasted pecans
1. In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing according to package directions, using vinegar and oil, and substituting orange juice for the water; set aside.
2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill the chicken 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and slice into strips.
4. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, salad greens, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peas, and pecans. Pour in the prepared dressing, and toss to coat.
