Summer Chicken Salad

With summer here we wanted something light and tasty without alot of cooking.  We went to the market picked up a roasted chicken, a few vegetables, and presto chango, dinner for two.  BTW my wife came up with a great suggestion/idea to give the salad a fresh taste.  We added lime infused olive oil to the dressing.  Since I tried this recipe a couple of times I also increased the lime flavor with a little lime zest.  For a non cook she really hit a homerun on this one!

Salad Ingredients

• Chopped roasted chicken, approx. 3 - 4 cups
• 10 ox package of slaw
• 3 stocks of celery, diced
• 1/2 cup red onion, diced
• Handful of cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup alonds, chopped
• Handful of red grapes, cut in halves

Dressing Ingredients

• Mayonaise
• 1 Tablespoon Lime Infused Olive Oil (Optional)
• Lime Zest (1/2 smal lime)
• 2 - 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• Sugar

Preparation

• Combine the mayonaise, oil oil, lime zest, and red wine vinegar into a mixing bowl and mix together. 
• Add a couple of spoons of sugar, stir and taste.  Continue adding sugar until you have a sweetness you like.  If you overshoot, add a little vinegar.  This is truly a mix and taste recipe.
• Combine and mix all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl
• Pour the salad dressing onto the salad, mix and serve as a sandwich or as a bed of salad

Enjoy!
