SONORAN SALAD

Easy and pretty. Present the salad in its "before" stage to your guests, and then toss. I usually "cheat" and add different vegetables as needed or desired. You can always switch this up and make it as colorful as you wish. And you can certainly change up the meat element too. Chicken added to this is great. I know someone who...

SONORAN CHICKEN SALAD

From the Sonoran Grill cookbook. A light salad with lemon/lime dijon dressing and a little "kick" from crushed red pepper and chile de arbol (not sure how much heat this adds - use your discretion). Prep time does not include cooking time for chicken or the one hour for the dressing to stand before serving. I love to use rotisserie chickens as I think they add flavor to the salad.

SONORAN SALAD & DRESSING



Sonoran Salad & Dressing image

Mmm... This is SO yummy. Recipe from my dear friend Cynthia. We love this aside pizza or any grilled meats. If you don't care for large chunks of blue cheese as we do, freeze the cheese and grate. Change the flavor by using feta instead of the blue and add Kalamata olives. Consider adding some Parmesan or pepperoni too. Once filled cooked jumbo pasta shells with this for an appetizer.
