Even the quick growers are still in their infancy.
But, sooner than you think, I will be bringing in lettuce every day. I try to come up with some main course salads, and this is one of my favorites.
Apricot Salsa Grilled Chicken Salad
Salsa
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Salad
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 6 cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens
Heat gas or charcoal grill. Brush chicken with oil; sprinkle with garlic salt. Place chicken on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Cut chicken into 1/2-inch slices.
Divide salad greens among 4 plates. Top with chicken and salsa.
I hope you enjoy!

This looks yummy! Are you able to grow lettuce? What no rabbits in Colorado? My rabbits in NJ ate everything including my bedding flowers. Pretty table too!
