Healthy / Light Recipe for an Express Show??

[kristina16marie]

I'm trying to find a fabulous recipe for an express show at my pediatrician's office. Most of the ladies are on WW, so I want to have a healthy recipe that they'll actually eat, but there is only a microwave available. I was thinking of doing a salad in the trifle bowl, but I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas??

I just made the Chicken Harvest (renamed it to Chicken DeLight) yesterday for a healthy recipe show. It was a HUGE hit. I used the large Square Simple Additions bowl to serve. Unfortunately, it didn't fit in Trifle bowl.
Hope this helps.

Chicken DeLight Salad (Harvest Chicken Salad)
---------------------

Ingredients:

Dressing
2 oranges
1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
1 small garlic clove, pressed

Salad

2 cups diced roasted chicken
1 cup diced celery
2 medium Red Delicious apples
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup toasted pecan halves (optional)
Orange segments and Whole-Grain Croutons (optional)


Directions:
1. For dressing, zest one orange using Lemon Zester/Scorer to measure 2
teaspoons zest. Juice oranges to measure 1/2 cup juice. Combine orange zest, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, salt, black pepper and garlic pressed with Garlic Press in Classic Batter Bowl; whisk until smooth using Stainless Whisk. While continuously whisking, add orange juice in a thin, steady stream; set dressing aside.

2. For salad, place spinach in bottom of large serving bowl. Dice chicken and
celery using Utility Knife. Cut apples in half lengthwise; remove stems and
seeds using Cook’s Corer(R). Cut each apple half into four wedges; crinkle cut wedges into small pieces using Crinkle Cutter. Chop onion using Food Chopper. Layer chicken, celery, apples, onion, cranberries and pecans, if desired, over spinach. To serve, drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Top with orange segments and Whole-Grain Croutons, if desired. Serve immediately.

I did this at a show and it seemed to take a long time. Another alternative is the 7 Layer Southwest Salad. Great and I do the sour cream on the side, because I hate it and not everyone feels the same!

The apple berry salsa goes over well with WW. I just leave out the apple jelly and use a little Splenda to sweeten to taste. We also made pita chips with cinnamon sugar.

I agree with the Apple Berry Salsa it is super easy and tasty and have the chips prepared ahead of time, they will love the salsa....
