Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups gourmet mixed salad greens
1 cup diced peeled cucumber
6 medium green onions, sliced (6 tablespoons)
2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz)
5 chicken breast tenders (about 1 lb)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped, toasted

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper with wire whisk. Slowly add olive oil, stirring constantly with whisk until smooth; set aside.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I usually add a little bit of chopped celery and red onion for extra crunch.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make it for potlucks and it's always the first dish to go.

I tried this salad and I thought it was just okay. The chicken was a little too crispy for my taste, and the dressing was a bit too tangy. I think I'll stick to my old chicken salad recipe.

This salad was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the dressing was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I thought I'd give this salad a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the dressing was tangy and delicious. I would definitely make this salad again, even without the blue chee
