Spinach Salad With Grilled Chicken Mango And Raspberries Szwarc Food

SPINACH SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN, MANGO, AND RASPBERRIES SZWARC

Steps:

• Make dressing:
• In a bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients except oil. Add oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk until emulsified. (Dressing may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.)
• In a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag coat chicken with 3 tablespoons dressing. (Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, 2 hours.)
• Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and grill chicken, drained, until cooked through, about 7 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and cool. (Chicken may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)
• Cut chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and in a large bowl combine with remaining ingredients. Drizzle remaining dressing over salad and toss gently to combine well.

RASPBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the oil into the poppyseeds, dijon and honey.
• Add vinegar.
• Shake well-- this dressing stays emulsified very well.
• You can toss with the rest of the salad ingredients or toss with just the spinach and then garnish the top with the other ingredients, or plate each serving and pour dressing over, whatever you choose.

SPINACH, AVOCADO & MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Wash, pick over and dry the spinach.
• Wash, dry and tear up the radicchio.
• Wash and slice the radishes.
• Peel and slice the mango and avocado.
• (Actually it is easiest to cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and lift out'slices' with a flattish spoon.) Mix the spinach, radicchio, sliced radishes, peeled and sliced avocado, and peeled and sliced mango.
• Whisk together, or shake in a jar, the orange juice, mustard, salt, pepper and oil.
• Toss gently into the salad.
