But in this recipe for &#8220;Chicken and Spinach Salad with Avocado and Fruit&#8221; from Rose Murray&#8217;s &#8220;125 Best Chicken Recipes&#8221; (Robert Rose), salad is the main course. This salad bursts with flavorful fruits and vegetables that are full of antioxidants. While it stands on its own, the salad can be accompanied by crusty bread and corn on the cob and rounded out with brownies for dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Chicken and Spinach Salad with Avocado and Fruit<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Serves 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sweet-and-Sour Dressing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bc cup granulated sugar<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3 tbsp. white wine vinegar<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 tsp. grated onion<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bd tsp. paprika<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bd tsp. dry mustard<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bc tsp. salt<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2153 cup vegetable oil<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breasts<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 half cantaloupe or other melon, or 2 oranges, peeled and divided into segments<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8 oz. spinach, trimmed, washed, dried, and torn into bite-sized pieces<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Salt and pepper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sweet-and-Sour Dressing: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and vinegar; cook stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves. Cool. Stir in onion, paprika, mustard, and salt. Transfer mixture to a blender; with motor running, add oil in a slow stream through the feed tube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, put chicken in a saucepan with \u00bc-inch water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, turning once, for 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove chicken, cool and cut crosswise into \u00bc-inch slices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scoop out melon with melon baller or cut into cubes. In a large salad bowl, toss spinach, chicken, avocado, melon, dressing, and salt and pepper to taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tip: The dressing can be made, covered and refrigerated for up to one week. The chicken can be cooked, cooled, covered, and refrigerated up to two days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Photo courtesy MetroCreative<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chicken and Spinach Salad with Avocado and Fruit<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NewsLine Staff mail@floridanewsline.com Weather during the months of September and October can be fickle.
