Winter Spring Mix Salad (Mesclun) image

I came up with this recipe when I wanted a healthy and warm dish with a different texture and taste other than spinach. It has a very simple taste to it, but the ingredients and flavors all meld together nicely. I used all organic ingredients; including the chicken (but you could omit the chicken or even substitute shrimp and add pine nuts). It has a very good taste and is a nice change from ordinary spinach and chicken dishes.

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup very good light olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 chicken breasts, sliced thin and then cut up
1 (8 ounce) bag of mescalune salad greens
1 cup feta cheese (fresh motzerella or goat cheese would also work well)
1/2 cup soft sun-dried tomato, chopped

Steps:

  • heat olive oil and garlic in large sauce or frying pan until garlic is golden; not dark brown.
  • add chicken and cover; cook on medium-low until chicken is cooked through but not dry (about 20 min).
  • wash mesclun mix well (unless you have bought prewashed) and add mesclun mix and sundried tomatoes and cover; cooking on low for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye to be sure greens don't get wilty.
  • they will be done when they are soft but not wilted (you really just want them warmed).
  • toss in cheese and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • serve alone or over a bed of linguine.
