"I liked the dressing on a Hawaiian chicken salad I tried at a restaurant, so I devised my own through trial and error," writes Lynn Merrifield, Watrous, Saskatchewan. "I make this salad at least once a week. You can also add mandarin oranges or pineapple chunks."

Ingredients

  • 4 grilled boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup Catalina salad dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 bunch romaine, torn
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Place the chicken in a microwave-safe dish. Combine the salad dressing, lemon-pepper and garlic powder; pour over chicken. Cover and microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
  2. Meanwhile, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, garlic tarragon and rosemary; shake well. On four plates, arrange the romaine, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Top with chicken and drizzle with dressing.
