Very good salad! I had 4 chicken breasts in the freezer that I thawed and marinated overnight. Cooked them in my cast iron grill pan than let them cool before cutting into bite size pieces for the salad. The dressing is so good with the salad and I did have to microwave a bit to incorporate the raspberry preserves. Used just a pinch of cayenne pepper and regular oranges since I couldnt find blood aranges. Dont care for avocados so I topped with oranges, red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts. Thank you for submitting your recipe for RSC #11.

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
