I love Chicken Salad and this is a great version. Quite often I find it isn't worth my time to make a salad dressing but this is an exception. Make sure you try the salad dressing, it is light but with lots of flavour. Use a good quality whole grain or multigrain bread for the croutons. From Canadian Living Magazine.
1 1/2 cup cubed multigrain bread
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 orange
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Pinch each salt and pepper
3 cups romaine lettuce
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
225 g boneless skinless chicken breast, grilled and sliced
On baking sheet, toss bread with 2 tsp of the oil. Bake in 375F oven, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut top and bottom off orange; slice away peel and white pith. Working over bowl, cut between fruit and membranes to release segments into bowl; set aside.
Squeeze 2 tbsp juice from remaining membranes into separate small bowl; whisk in remaining oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
In salad bowl, layer lettuce, onion, olives, reserved orange segments and chicken.
To serve, add dressing and croutons.
