This cool, colorful salad is a palate-pleaser. Apples and asparagus seem an unlikely match, but they form a terrific trio with chicken. I make this salad quite often while asparagus is in season. Nancy Horsburgh, Everett, Ontario Ingredients:
1 cup cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces) |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
2 teaspoons honey |
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup cubed cooked chicken |
1/2 cup diced apple |
2 cups torn mixed greens |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus in a small saucepan and cover with 1/2 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and cool.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, oil, honey, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken, apple and asparagus; toss to coat. Serve over greens. Yield: 3 servings.
