Summer Chicken Salad

  Monday evening we had a baseball game here at the house and I wanted to make something for dinner that would be quick to throw together after Daren got home from work and before he had to go play ball.
   Since we have an abundance of lettuce in the garden I thought salads would be a good choice.  So while the boys took a short nap............................

 .........I prepared the salads using ingredients I had on hand. The end results were quite delicious and refreshing.

Summer Chicken Salad

1 pkg chicken breast tenderloins

1 tbsp olive oil

Greek seasoning

rosemary

thyme

fresh ground pepper 

salt

fresh squeezed lime juice 

lettuce

Mandarin oranges, drained

toasted English walnuts

shredded cheddar cheese

fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Heat the oil in a skillet until hot. Cut the chicken into small strips. Add to the hot oil and season to suit your taste with the Greek seasoning, rosemary, thyme, pepper, salt & lime juice. Fry until golden brown. {I would have liked to grill the chicken but I didn't have the time.} Cut up the lettuce and add chicken, oranges and walnuts. Drizzle with Balsamic Celery Seed Dressing and top with grated cheese.

Balsamic Celery Seed Dressing

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/4 small onion

3/4 tsp mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp celery seed

Blend together until smooth.

For You created my inmost being; 

You knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise You because I am fearfully and

wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, 

I know that full well.
