Need a quick and light dinner, then you should try this … Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette drizzled over a Chicken Feta Salad!
This is good stuff and full of kick booty flavor!
We are talking a beautiful salad of mixed baby greens topped off with grilled, seared or rotisserie chicken, a good dose of feta cheese with a modest amount of spring onions and whole blackberries, then finally a generous bit of Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette.
… All of which give it that certain je ne sais quoi.
You can use the Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette on any salad that suits your fancy, but since I’m a huge feta fan, this is one of my go to salads that I enjoy making often. As with many dressings and vinaigrettes, you can also use it to marinate your chicken. Just add the chicken to a ziploc baggy, add in the vinaigrette and let it marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The chicken is best when grilled but baking or roasting works beautifully as well. If you love a salad with a good story behind it, my 1905 salad from the Columbia Restaurant is one of my favorites in the collection, a true classic that never goes out of style.
Happy “Salading” … why no, no that is not in Websters. 😉
Enjoy!
