Answer 2

First marinate some thawed boneless skinless chicken breast in some Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 hours) in the fridge. Then saute the chicken in 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil, along with some scallions. After chicken is done, slice and set aside to put atop the below salad.

I like a field green salad with sliced strawberries, slivered almonds, and shredded carrots.

Then top it all off with a nice raspberry vinaigrette.

Oishii desho!

Answer 4

Green Salad with All the Trimmings:

- Lettuce to your taste, not iceberg. Baby spinach, Romaine, Etc..
- Tomatoes, vine tomatoes are best but anything will work
- Avacado
- Cucumber, Lemon cucumber is best but any kind will work
- Grated Cheese, Sharp cheddar works best but your taste preference will do

Cut it all up as you like and toss.

Add a shake or two of garlic salt, a bit of lemon pepper, and a bit of parmesean cheese (if you like parmesean) and toss again.

This makes a great green salad! Use your choice of dressing.
Oh and don't forget the croutons!!! (cesear croutons are tastiest)

I love spinach leaves with hearts of palm and sliced almonds or whole pine nuts. Drizzle a little white wine vinegar on top. Very elegant with a clean, fresh taste.

Take any kinds of lettuce like you like, put on plate. Add some crispy fried chicken strips, such as Tyson brand, and top with your favorite dressing. I like Ken's creamy parmesan with black pepper. Or else blue cheese. MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm. Good.
