Ingredients

  • Spring mix salad
  • Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Feta cheese
  • Cup of cooked corn cooled
  • Cup chopped dates
  • Cup of chow mein noodles

Preparation

Step 1

Dip chicken in cajun seasoning and grill on bbq.
The salad at Cactus is served with a Honey Lime Vinaigrette.  I have yet to make a reasonable facsimile from scratch, but I’ll keep trying.  Lately I have been wimping out and buying a Key Lime Vinaigrette from IGA and adding the juice of one fresh lime, and a squirt of honey. Mix with braun, etc.

I assemble the salad by dumping everything on the plate except the chicken and crunchy-munchy bits, which I add after I’ve added the dressing (I prefer not to drown out the flavor of the Cajun seasoning and the crunchy-munchies can get soggy.
Serve with honey lime vinaigrette.
