food post, yay :)

I made that delicious chicken salad again this weekend. You know, my own variation of a recipe that I basically 'stole' from a restaurant. I'll call it Mediterranean Chicken Salad, for lack of a better name. Originally it was just a side salad, but I added sauteed chicken breast slices (seasoned with garlic powder & oregano) to make it a full, balanced meal. Other ingredients include mixed salad greens, thinly sliced red onion & pears, chopped walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, black olives, garlic-flavored croutons and a handful of dried cranberries. For the dressing, I just used olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. It's absolutely YUMMY. Probably on my 'top ten' list.:)

Which makes me realize I could actually compile the 'top ten' list here, for my own reference as well as for the benefit of anyone interested in trying some of these recipes out. They come mostly from various cookbooks - though I do introduce my own modifications every now and then. Anyway, without further ado, here goes:
