I must preface this by saying I am on the road traveling and hope I have not missed the HOTM deadline....if so... sorry Ilva and Joanna.This salad was made last year and sooooo many times before that and since.
This lunch salad was built as a group project, Doodles and Mooncrazy. I, sister moon, stood at the refrigerator and tossed things out to Doodles to chop and slice. Amazing what you can create. I, Doodles, love this salad because it is just easy and refreshing and so very versatile. Don't turn your nose up at this bottled dressing cause it is low in calorie but loaded with flavor. That Paul Newman is just a special kinda guy.
The chicken was Costco's (a US based big box store) cooked roaster and the apples, Grannie Smith. The farmer's market asparagus was blanched and it stayed nice and crisp even as a leftover. Chopped pecans, lots a cilantro, sliced green onion, and canned garbonzo beans rounded out this orzo salad. Topped with Newman's Own Sesame Ginger dressing it was a full meal.
Try this dressing for marinating chicken or pork … and while your at it check out Mr. Newman's web site for some recipe ideas.
