Mediterranean Salad

Salty combines with creamy in a winter greens salad.

Created in our kitchen.

Ingredients:
~1 bag mixed winter greens
~1 lb. chicken breasts, cut into strips
~2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
~3 tbs. sundried tomatoes, chopped
~kalamata olives, chopped (I love these, so I used about half a jar)
~1 tbs. olive oil
~1 tbs. capers
~1 tbs. cumin
~1 tbs. smoked paprika
~1 tsp. garam masala
~1/2 tsp. garlic powder
~1/4 tsp. salt
~1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
~french bread
~butter
~1 bottle Greek vinaigrette

1. Set oven to broil and place rack on the second-highest level.
2. In a small bowl, mix cumin, paprika, garam masala, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub mix onto all sides of chicken strips. Heat a skillet on medium-high and coat with 1 tbs. olive oil. Brown chicken on all sides and cook through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board.
3. Spread butter on bread and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until butter is slightly browned. This can happen fast, so keep an eye on it!!
4. Divide greens into bowls. Slice chicken and put on top of greens. Finish topping with goat cheese, tomatoes, olives, capers, and vinaigrette. Serve with the toasted bread.
