Being on a diet, almost anything with chicken and salad, you can’t go wrong.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Honey Ginger Dressing recipe serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1-2 pounds)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
8 cups mesclun salad greens (7 ounces)
1 ripe mango, peeled and cute into bite-size cubes
salt and pepper for taste

Cooking Tip: While the chicken is grilling, cut the mango and make the honey-ginger dressing.

Chicken Directions

Heat a grill pan (or grill) over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken smooth side down on the grill and cook until edges turn opaque, about 6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until firm to touch, about 6 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.

Dressing Directions

Combine the lemon juice, honey, and ginger in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil (4 tablespoons). First start with a few drops and then add the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.

Salad Directions

To put the salad together, slice or shred the chicken into pieces and add it to the greens along with the mango and dressing. Toss and divide the salad among 4 large plates and serve.

Cooking Tip: This is an excellent appetizer or side dish. Especially if you want to make the same recipe for 6-8 people. The salad portions will be smaller and a nice taste for a main course.

It’s an art to fry up the perfect Pork Chop. Some recommend cooking it slower, while others like it fried. Here’s a quick pork chop recipe for the perfect pork chops.

Ingredients

8 thin bone-in pork chops, each about 4 ounces
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the pork chops well and season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to add a bit of Garlic Salt for more flavor.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and heat until simmering. Lay 4 chops in a pan and sear until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes.

Cooking Tip: Flatten the chops with a spatula if edges curl.

Turn the chops over and cook an additional minute. Remove from pan and set aside in a warm place. Repeat with remaining oil and chops. Serve two chops per person.

Grilled salmon stays moist with the addition of a savory, herb-filled paste.

Cooking Tip: A grill basket is great for keeping fish intact when grilling. Oil generously before placing salmon inside and use handles to turn

Cooking Tip: This recipe doesn’t call for cilantro, but I like to add that on top when it’s cooking. It gives it great flavor.

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, loosely packed
3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 ancho chile, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds salmon fillets with skin
1 lemon, quartered
1 lime, quartered

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium.

In a food processor or blender, combine sun-dried tomatoes with their oil, basil, parsley, oregano, garlic, chile, salt and pepper. Process lightly until a coarse paste forms.

Place salmon skin-side down on a tray. Spread herb paste over top of salmon, making a thick, even layer.

Generously oil grill so that the salmon doesn’t stick. place salmon on grill, paste-side down, and cook for 3 minutes. Use 2 metal spatulas to gently loosen salmon from grill and turn it over. Grill salmon for 3 to 4 minutes longer, or just until opaque throughout.

Use spatulas to carefully remove fish from the grill to a warm platter. Garnish with lemon and lime wedges and serve.
