Chicken and Peach Salad

"I am on a healthy eating push and am collecting interesting looking healthy recipes to try out. This one looks interestingly different. So, I thought I would put it here for safe keeping. I found it in the "Healthy Eating" book put out by "The Australian Women's Weekly". I appreciated that the recipe was for one person but I am sure it can be easily scaled up."

  1. I think the salad is a very healthy alternative for someone who watches their calories, but I didn't think it had enough flavor to it.
     
  2. I made this two nights ago and was SO nervous! The combination of flavors seemed so unusual to me, but it looked so light and healthy I had to try it. I trippled the recipe to serve my whole family (2 adults & 2 small children) and used more chicken than called for...there were no leftovers!! With each bite I fell more in love with the flavor combination (the rating started at 3 stars and made it to five by the end of the night :) ). The only tips I would give to future designers of this salad would be to be generous with the peach and be careful not to put too much lime juice in the dressing. My husband thinks this recipe would be good using crab meat too! Thanks for posting, I'll be making this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008. I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters. I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment. I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily. These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it. These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated: <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
