Salad Bar with 
Ginger Chicken,
 Pretzel Bread Croutons,
and Pomegranate Balsamic Dressing





We love salad bar in our house.  Everyone gets to make their salad exactly the way they want.  
This week we made delicious ginger chicken, pretzel croutons and fresh pomegranate dressing.  
Yum, Yum, Yum!


Broccoli, currants, carrots, pomegranate seeds, almonds, yellow peppers,
 tomatoes, pretzel croutons,  and dried cranberries.

I did something different with the lettuce this week.  I mixed 3 different store bought packages together...
Fresh Spring Greens and Herbs, Vegetable Slaw and Kale.
(1/2 bag of each)  

Ginger Garlic Marinade


1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ginger (I used fresh chopped ginger)
3 medium garlic cloves , crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 lb skinless chicken breast



Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Refrigerate for at least an hour.


Last year I started to sear my meat on a grill pan before baking it in the oven.
Sear on high heat for about 1 minute on each side.
It gives the meat a great texture.



Pretzel Bread Croutons
 (Use any kind of your favorite bread)


Cut up bread into cubes.
Sprinkle with oil, grated cheese and herbs.


Place on a baking sheet and cook until golden brown and crispy.
About 10 to 15 minutes.
