'It's like a Heat Wave ....'

If you are like me, when the tempatures soar to above 90, the thought of cooking dinner is unbearable.  That's when we start having a lot of salads for dinner in my house. 

This one is my favorite, could eat it everyday and never get bored.  Enjoy!

California Dreaming Chicken Salad

Dressing:

2/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup flax seed oil
1.5 generous tbsp white sugar
1/4 red onion, diced very fine
1 clove garlic, minced
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Mix together

Salad:

4 chicken breasts shredded or chopped (I like to make mine on the grill)
2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
4 handfuls of candied pecans, chopped
1 large apple, chopped (fuji or gala)
1 red onion, chopped
12 oz. Mandarin oranges, drained
4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled

Toss salad together, add dressing, and toss again.  This dressing packs a lot of flavor, so I always add it slowly until I am happy with the taste.
