Chicken Apricot Salad

This zippy salad is a twist of the regular house or Caesar salad. The fresh apricots compliment the flavor of the chicken and are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin A and C. If you don’t have apricots on hand, try something else like plums for a tasty substitute.

  • 1 6 ounce chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly minced organic parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly minced organic tarragon
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of salt

  • 3 organic apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 1/3 a cup of organic red onion, sliced

  3. Grill the chicken 4 minutes on each side then put on a plate to cool.
  4. Combine oil and vinegar in a bowl and whisk together
  5. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix.
