a random salad

I think this was Monday, I'm not entirely certain.

Preparation:
Heat the oven to 350°. Toast the walnuts until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove and let cool. Turn off the oven.

Toss the frozen corn in the microwave and let it go.

In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk the vinegar with the mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oil.

In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the dressing with the chicken. Let that sit for about 5 minutes so that the chicken absorbs the dressing.

Add the walnuts, bacon, spring mix, onion, apple, corn, and the remaining dressing and toss, OR split the chicken into bowls and allow everyone to grab how much of whatever they like they want.

Toss cheese on top and devour.

Fruit Salad

4 nice size apples, peeled
quart of strawberries, capped
grapes, seedless
oranges, seedless and peeled (I used clementines)
personal size Greek yogurt (honey/vanilla flavored)
half a small tub of cool whip
sugar (to taste)
Fruit Fresh (if needed)

After capping the strawberries, rinse, then cut in fours. Put in glass bowl, sprinkle sugar on (to taste), then cover and fridge. Core the apples and cut into bite size pieces, place in water or fruit fresh to prevent oxidation. Separate orange slices (if you bought whole ones). Stem and rinse grapes.

In a large bowl, mix yogurt and cool whip. Add drained apples, then grapes, then oranges, stirring each time. Add strawberries last (as they are the least firm and therefore require a gentle stir to keep from mushing). Leave in fridge til time to serve. Made at least 12 servings.
