directions

  • For the Toasted Sesame-Poppy Seed Vinaigrette: In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, sugar, sesame and poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt and 1 tablespoon minced onion.
  • Blend until most sesame seeds are ground (stop motor several times and scrape down sides of container). Scrape contents into a small bowl, then whisk in the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. This makes 3/4 cup.
  • For the Salad: Cut the cooked and cooled chicken into 1/4-inch pieces and combine with 1/2 cup vinaigrette, the salad greens, diced tomatoes, avocado, sugar-glazed hazelnuts and 1/4 cup minced onion. Add more vinaigrette as necessary to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve: Arrange additional salad greens on 4 plates, then divide salad mixture between them. Garnish with the pear slices, tomato wedges and sliced egg.
  • Sugar-Glazed Hazelnuts: Place a sheet of waxed paper on countertop. In a nonstick skillet, warm 1 cup coarsely chopped, lightly roasted and skinned hazelnuts over medium-high heat. Sprinkle on about 2 tablespoons sugar, stirring continuously with either a silicone spatula or flat-sided wooden spoon; cook until sugar melts around hazelnuts. Sprinkle on more sugar as necessary to glaze all hazelnut pieces. Remove from heat and quickly scrape hazelnuts onto sheet of waxed paper to cool.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
