Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons mild honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup finely diced Granny Smith apple
1 small head Boston or Bibb lettuce (1/4 pound), leaves separated and left whole
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved if desired
1/2 cup walnuts (4 ounces), toasted
1 celery rib, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring 2 inches of water with 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Add chicken and poach at a bare simmer, partially covered, until just cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • While chicken poaches, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until honey and salt have dissolved. Whisk in shallot and oil, then whisk in apple.
  • Divide lettuce, grapes, walnuts, and celery between 2 plates and drizzle with half of vinaigrette. Slice chicken and put on top of salads, then drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.

I wasn't a fan of this salad. I found the flavors to be too strong.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think it would be better with a less tart dressing.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used rotisserie chicken and it turned out great. The dressing is light and refreshing, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
