I got this recipe out of the St.Cloud Times a couple of weeks ago. I added a bit of garlic (can't cook without it). This is a great way to use up left-over chicken! Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves, plus more for garnish |
1/2 teaspoon mashed garlic (1 clove) |
2 teaspoons herbal vinegar |
1/2 lb watercress, stems removed,torn in small pieces |
1 lb cooked green beans, cut in small pieces |
3/4 lb cooked boneless chicken, preferably grilled,skinned and cut in small pieces |
3/4 lb cherry tomatoes, healved |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Beat together the mayo, basil, garlic and vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine the watercress and 2 tablespoons of the basil mayo.
3. Toss until the leaves are lightly coated.
4. Divide evenly among 6 plates.
5. To the same bowl, add the beans, chicken, tomatoes and 1/4 cup of the dressing.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Stir to combine.
8. Divide evenly and place atop the watercress.
9. Garnish with sliced basil and a spoonful of the dressing.
