Tropical Salad

I know, in the winter?  I couldn't help it, ever since

I had a Hawaiian Chicken Salad at Cheddar's Restaurant

I had been wanting to make one.  So, I found a

Honey Lime Dressing recipe and got creative!

So, here is what I came up with:

Try to use Fresh organic when possible

Salad

Romain Lettuce

Walnuts

Pineapple chunks

Strips of grilled or roasted chicken breast

Tortilla Chips in strips

Pico De Gallo

1 med. tomato, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 sprigs fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 green onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Honey Lime Dressing

1 egg beaten

1/4 cup lime juice

1 tsp grated lime ring

1/2 cup honey

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground mace (I used a pinch of nutmeg instead)

1 cup of sour cream

Combine egg, lime juice, grated lime rind, 

and honey in saucepan; cook over low heat

until thickened, stirring constantly.

Add salt and mace; cool.  fold in sour

cream; chill. 

To assemble:
first place lettuce on a plate, sprinkle
walnuts around the lettuce, add
Pico De Gallo, pineapples, dal-lop
dressing in several places
on the salad, and then place your chicken strips
across the salad with the tortilla chip
strips being the final touch

ENJOY!

I did ;-)
