Salad Supper

Tonight, we had a simple, refreshing salad for our dinner, accompanied by crescent rolls.

Chicken & Tangerine Salad
12 oz. cooked chicken breast, cut in cubes
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
3 c. escarole, torn into bite-size pieces
3 c. red leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
4 tangerines, peeled & separated into segments
1 orange bell pepper, julienned (I used a green pepper, though, since they're $2 cheaper per pound at our grocery)
3 thinly-sliced scallions
Saute chicken in a scant drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Season with salt & pepper. Break asparagus into bite-size pieces. Steam 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Toss everything together and serve with your favorite dressing. I highly recommend citrus poppyseed dressing or any citrus vinaigrette. J loved hers with her plant's cranberry orange vinaigrette. Delicious & perfect for a May supper.
