When guests are coming for lunch or dinner in the warm summer months, I like to serve this attractive, colorful salad. The dressing is refreshingly tart. A neighbor shared the recipe years ago and I've passed it on many times.
Ingredients
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
6 cups torn mixed salad greens
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
5 medium ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
Instructions
1In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lime juice, sugar, thyme, oil and garlic; shake well.
2On a serving platter, arrange salad greens, chicken and nectarines. Drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.
