Sean's "Secret" Recipes Vol. 1

Cucumber Chicken Salad
For the salad:
3/4c. chopped cooked chicken per serving
Chopped romaine lettuce
Cucumber, quartered and sliced
Grape tomatoes
Sprouts (alfalfa, broccoli, or bean)
Sunflower seeds

For the dressing:
1/2c. extra light olive oil (or another light salad oil)
1/2c. lemon juice
1T. white or white wine vinegar
1t. dijon mustard
1T dill weed
1/2t. garlic, chopped or powder
1T. lemon pepper seasoning
1/2t. ground black pepper
1t. dried basil (optional)

Shake all dressing ingredients together. Arrange thin bed of lettuce on each plate. Top with sprouts, cucumbers and tomatoes. Add chicken over top. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Serve with dressing.

Simple and light, refreshing. The lemon and dill really bring out the taste of the cucumbers. Created 6/21/2005
