Chicken Kaleidoscope Recipes

KALEIDOSCOPE SALAD

Steps:

• Microwave limes for about 30 seconds to release essential oils, and set aside just long enough so that they are cool enough to handle.
• Turn on the blender and while it's running, add 1 at a time through the feed tube, the parsley, chives, and garlic, and blend together until a smooth paste has formed. At this point the limes should be cool enough to squeeze. With the power still on, squeeze the lime juice through the blender feed-tube, and then very slowly add the buttermilk until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside in refrigerator until needed. (When chilled, the dressing should resemble something like mayonnaise.)
• Toss together lettuce, spinach, onion, celery, chives, and cucumbers. Fold in peas, corn, pineapple, cranberries, grape tomatoes, and tomato wedges. Serve family style with dressing on the side.
