Italian salad dressing does wonders for chicken breasts, especially if they are left to marinate for several hours in the fridge. Then just before grilling, each breast gets a sprinkling of lemon pepper.
This salad is dressed with a lime vinaigrette and has lots of crunch and flavor with a little jalapeno pepper pop. Use summer fresh ingredients from the garden or farmer's market.
A few spears of asparagus, some slices of prosciutto, and a bit of creamy Neufchatel cheese is all you need to assemble this fancy little side dish. Make a few more, and serve them on an appetizer tray.
Avocados, onion, chopped tomato, garlic and a splash of lovely lime juice. That 's all. Well, maybe a dash of salt and pepper and an hour or so in the refrigerator. Fabulously easy.
No green pepper in this recipe, so it's a hit with kids. We added this to the menu at a children's camp, and it has been a favorite for several years. The mixture is thick, so they are 'neat' rather than sloppy. This freezes and reheats well.
