directions

  • Mix salad greens and vegetables in large bowl.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with Raspberry Chipotle Vinaigrette; toss to coat.
  • Arrange chicken strips on top of salad. Twist black peppercorn grinder over salad.
  • To prepare Raspberry Chipotle Vinaigrette, In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and slightly caramelized, 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add the chipotles and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute.
  • Add the raspberries and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the sugar and salt, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened and reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and cool before using as a salad dressing.
  • Tips for other uses:

  • For a clear glaze, strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Serving Suggestions:

  • Use as a barbecue sauce, glaze, or basting sauce for poultry, shrimp, and meats. Pour over a block of cream cheese and serve as a dip with club crackers. Use as a sauce for meatballs or cocktail sausages for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Great in wraps.

  1. Yummy! I made the four serving into 2 huge servings for DH and myself for dinner. I made a few changes with the dressing, for lack of ingredients, and making it for two. I substituted 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of Splenda, 4 tablespoons of sugar free raspberry preserves for the fresh raspberries, 1 diced shallot in place of the onion, only 1/2 T of oil, and 1 large chipotle pepper. This was DH's favorite "entree" salad that I've made so far. Thank you for posting!
     
  2. Made half a recipe for the two of us. Added kale and used red wine vinegar instead of raspberry. Loved the dressing as it added just the right amount of spice.
