Peach Chicken Salad Recipe

By: Melissa Garn

I got this recipe from: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Peach-Chicken-Salad/Detail.aspx

However, in mine, I did not use cucumber (I forgot to get it at the store) and fresh mint (again, I didn't get it at the store). I used mint flakes instead. This is for August Cooking Club, the theme of which is 'Summer Favorites.' Since this is pre-Cooking Club, and I've never made it before, we'll see how it turns out. :)

Ingredients

• 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and cubed
• 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• 1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
• MINT VINAIGRETTE:
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup minced fresh mint
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, chicken, cucumber and onion; set aside. In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mint, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. Drizzle over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Use a slotted spoon to serve on lettuce-lined plates.
