I've been doing a lot of clean eating lately, and something wintry sounded good to me. I was missing the good old days of cold summer salads, so why not have a a cold winter salad? Okay, it sounds a little odd, but it was quite delicious. I adapted a recipe from the magazine, Clean Eating.
INGREDIENTS:
2 small red potatoes
2 small gold potatoes
1/2 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c red onion (diced small)
1/2 of your favorite apple (non-green) diced about 3/4c
1/2 c cooked white beans
1 T fresh rosemary
Salt & Pepper to taste
VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 c FRESH lemon juice (about 1 -1 1/2 lemons)
1 T extra virgin olive oil
2 t stevia powder
DIRECTIONS:
*Place whole potatoes into a medium saucepan completely covered with water and boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
*Place chicken breasts into a different saucepan, cover with water and poach for about 20 minutes on med/high heat or until cooked through. I don't mind poached chicken, you can cook them how you wish.
*While chicken & potatoes are cooking - in a medium bowl add onion, apple, beans, rosemary, pepper, and salt.
*In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, oil, and stevia.
*After Potatoes and Chicken have cooled cut them up into 1" dices and add them to the veggie mixture. Pour vinaigrette over the top and gently toss to coat.
