I’m on a never-ending search for different ways to prepare chicken, and I have one rule: Don’t make it different by making it more complicated. This chicken dish is simple, delicious, and different. It’s particularly great if you have company coming over. It will free you up so you can actually hang out, too!

If you are completely exhausted, substitute the salmon steaks with canned salmon. Buy one large can (18 ounces), drain, and arrange the chunks atop the salad. Buy hard-boiled eggs from the salad bar at the market, or boil your own (see Tidbit, page 90).

This dish makes a perfect side for a simple grilled steak any time of year. With the Surf and Turf Salad it’s a knockout!

Cubanos are traditionally served on a sweet roll. The orange juice and honey are used to hit that sweet note here.

This recipe requires no cooking and is served cold, so it makes a perfect low-carb on-the-go lunch, or a picnic for the park as well! Pack the dressing with an ice pack to keep it chilled out. If you think you don’t like anchovies, try them in this dressing. They just taste salty and yummy!
