âThis recipe is light, zippy and flavorful. It's a nice healthy salad that's great for a luncheon with friends.â And with blueberries, walnuts and olive oil, it's nutritionally exceptional, too. Denise Rasmussen - Salina, Kansas Ingredients:
1/2 cup lime juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
4 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
6 cups spring mix salad greens |
2 cups cubed seedless watermelon |
1 cup fresh blueberries |
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, oil, salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining lime juice mixture for dressing.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
3. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, watermelon, blueberries and yellow pepper; add reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide among four serving plates. Slice chicken; serve with salads. Sprinkle each serving with 4 teaspoons walnuts. Yield: 4 servings.
