This is a yummy salad that's one of my favorites. Ingredients:
10 ounces mixed salad greens (i like the butter lettuce mix or the romaine mix) |
15 ounces mandarin oranges, well-drained |
6 ounces of cooked and sliced chicken breasts |
2 very thin slices red onions, cut in half and sliced into crescents |
1/4 cup pecans, toasted |
1/2 cup of bottled light italian dressing or 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing |
2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into chunks (i use haas avocados, the dark-skinned avocados, but california avocados could also be used) |
Directions:
1. In a large salad bowl, combine salad greens, mandarin oranges, chicken, onion and pecans.
2. In a small bowl, combine dressing and 1/2 cup avocado cubes. Mash and blend into dressing. Add remaining avocado cubes and dressing to salad. Toss and serve.
