Hi All
Hope you all had a good weekend. As told by few of my friends,
I should give a break in blogging, for all to catch up on the recipes. So I am
back after a weekend. Had a beautiful time and the weather is lovely too. Since,
rest of you all must be dreading to go to the kitchen and eating anything spicy,
I am putting up a very low calorie salad. Though I am making a non-vegetarian one,
you all can go vegan with this. The no of vegetables you can add is your
choice.
Ingredients
Romaine Lettuce or Iceberg lettuce : 1 cup (roughly torn)
Boiled boneless Shredded Chicken :
½ cup (boiled in plain water and salt)
Walnut kernel :
2 tbsp.
Black grapes :
¼ cup (halved)
Dressing
Lemon juice :
2tsp.
Honey/Sugar :
1tsp honey/1 ½ tsp. sugar
Black Pepper :
1 pinch
Salt :
1 pinch
Extra virgin Olive oil :
2 tbsp.
Method
In a salad bowl mix roughly torn lettuce (you can use any
lettuce you prefer; romaine or iceberg or any), shredded boiled boneless
chicken, halved grapes and walnut. Mix them well and chill them. DO NOT put in
the freezer. Refrigerator is good enough for few hours. This will ensure the
leaves are crunchy and soothes your senses when you eat something cold in this
summer.
Meanwhile make the dressing. Mix all the ingredient for the
dressing except for the oil in a glass (preferably tall), now with a stirrer
mix vigorously and slowly add the oil. You will see the mix changing its color
and the dressing will start getting thicker.
Add this to the salad just before eating, toss it once and
enjoy your Monday night dinner. You can accompany this with some tomato soup.
Note:
- 1. Boneless chicken i use is always leg boneless, since the chicken is juicier.
- 2. Instead of lemon juice for dressing you can use orange juice or Lime juice too.
- 3. Vegans can add blanched broccoli, baby corn, etc. and Paneer or tofu too.
