From Everyday Food: Cherries aren't only for jams and pies - these juicy, ruby red summer beauties are ripe for the picking in this refreshing salad. Ingredients:
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
1/2 cup fresh goat cheese, crumbled (2 oz.) |
2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped |
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar |
coarse salt and pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower |
1 lb chicken cutlet |
1 head boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces |
1/2 lb bing cherry, pitted and halved |
1/4 cup walnut pieces |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, goat cheese, chives, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
4. Working in batches, cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
5. Divide lettuce among four plates; top with chicken, cherries, and walnuts. Serve salad with dressing alongside.
6. Note: If dressing is too thick, it may be thinned out with a little milk.
