Chicken Citrus Salad

Tonight after going for a run around at the park and a bike ride we felt like a nice light salad for dinner. I had a yummy recipe from Giada that I wanted to try and it worked out perfect for tonights dinner.

adapted from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe

Ingredients
Vinaigrette
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Salad
baby spinach leaves or mesclun salad
1 orange cut into segments
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
1 chicken breast per person (approx 100 grams each)

Directions
Slice the chicken into thin strips.
Heat a non-stick pan and drizzle with olive oil.
While the pan is heating put all the vinaigrette ingredites into a jar and shake to blend.

Place the chicken in the hot pan and season well.

While the chicken is cooking combine all the salad ingredients in a salad bowl, drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine.

Serve out on to serving plates and top with chicken.

ENJOY!
