I found this delicious salad recipe from Eating Well. The dressing is delicious and I plan to use it in a few other recipes.
Mache & Chicken Salad with Honey-Tahini Dressing
Ingredients:
Dressing
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup tahini,
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Salad
1 pound new or baby red potatoes
1 pound chicken tenders (I used grilled chicken)
1/4 teaspoon plus pinch of salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small clove garlic
4 cups mâche, or baby spinach
1 cup shelled English peas, (about 1 1/2 pounds unshelled)
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
Preparation
To prepare dressing: Combine lemon juice, 1/3 cup oil, tahini,
honey and minced garlic in a blender, a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a
medium bowl. Blend, shake or whisk until smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt
and pepper.
To prepare salad: Place a steamer basket in a large
saucepan, add 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Put potatoes in the basket
and steam until barely tender when pierced with a skewer, 15 to 20 minutes,
depending on size. When cool enough to handle, slice or quarter.
Meanwhile, toss chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the
chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per
side. Transfer to a clean cutting board to cool. Shred into bite-size pieces.
Season a wooden salad bowl by rubbing with 1/2 clove garlic
and a pinch of salt. Chop the garlic and add to the bowl along with the
potatoes and mâche (or spinach). Pour 1/2 cup dressing over the potatoes and
greens; gently toss to coat. (Cover and refrigerate the remaining 3/4 cup
dressing for up to 3 days.) Add peas, shallot and the shredded chicken; gently
toss and serve.
