Peach & Chicken Salad

The other day I needed a quick meal so I tossed together some things I found in the fridge to make a quick salad and it turned out SO delicious that I have to share it. In case you haven’t noticed, goat cheese and pinons (pine nuts) have become essential ingredients in my house. They add a touch of elegance and a funky taste to so many different kinds of dishes!

Peach & Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

  • Mixed greens
  • 1 peach, pit removed, sliced and cut into chunks
  • 1 chicken patty chopped into chunks. I used a breaded chicken patty left over, but you could use a grilled chicken breast or any cooked chicken meat. This is a great way to use leftover chicken!
  • Vidalia or red onion slices
  • Goat cheese crumbles
  • Pine nuts, toasted
  • Oriental vinaigrette (recipe below)

Directions:

  1. Fill your salad bowl about 2/3 – 3/4 full with mixed greens.
  2. Toss on the other ingredients.
  3. Drizzle with oriental dressing
