Summer Salad

Peaches sweet and juicy make this the perfect fresh summer salad...

Salad:

fresh greens

1 chicken breast, cut in small bits

1 tab. fajita seasoning

a big juicy peach

1/3 cup pecans

2 tab. sugar

Dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tab. tarragon vinegar

salt & pepper to taste

1 tab. sugar

Saute the chicken breast pieces in olive oil until cooked through and browned. Sprinkle on the fajita seasoning. Stir in 2 tab. of water until all the chicken is coated. To prepare the pecans, put the pecans and 2 tab. sugar in a nonstick pan. Stir until the sugar melts and carmelizes a bit (be sure not to burn the sugar). Turn the coated pecans out onto a piece of foil to cool.

Then layer the lettuce, chicken, peach that has been peeled and cut into chunks and finally the pecans. Pour on dressing just before serving.

Best eaten out under a maple tree in the backyard on a hot summer evening with a tall glass of "tinto de verano" and a slab of good bread. delish!
