There is a salad at a Rochester restaurant that I love – Raspberry Rotisserie Chicken Salad. I’ve ordered it several times and finally decided to give it a try at home. It’s now a new favorite!
Let’s get started…
For the dressing, combine raspberry vinegar, walnut oil, salt, pepper and honey.
No need to purchase Raspberry Vinegar. Here’s how to make it at home..
Combine 1 cup of distilled white vinegar with 1/2 cup frozen or fresh raspberries. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat. Allow vinegar to completely cool. Strain liquid and place Raspberry Vinegar in a glass container. (Yields 1/2 cup). Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Back to the dressing…
Combine raspberry vinegar, walnut oil, salt, pepper and honey. Shake dressing and set aside.
Remove chicken from bone and shred.
For the Rosemary Spiced Nuts…
See link below for detailed recipe.
(Make Rosemary Spiced Nuts ahead of time and place in the freezer for up to a month.)
Dice a few dried apricots.
Now, let’s build our salad…
Place mixed greens on a plate.
Add dried apricots and Rosemary Spiced Nuts.
Drop a few fresh raspberries on top.
Add shredded chicken and drizzle dressing over salad.
Top with crumbled blue cheese and serve.
Enjoy!
