Dressing

1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise 1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Chicken Marinade

1 cup water 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire

Cajun Spice Blend

1/2 tablespoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons light butter

Salad

8 cups chopped iceberg lettuce 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage 1/2 cup shredded carrot 1/2 cup fat free shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese 1 large tomato, diced 1 hardboiled egg white, diced

Method

1. Make dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well by hand. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready.

2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl, and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in refrigerator for several hours. Overnight is even better.

3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron skillet, if you’ve got it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your barbecue grill to medium/high heat.

4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts. Cover the entire surface of the chicken with spice.

5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on the side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicken breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sear for another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a charred, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for.

6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are done.

7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the lettuce into two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses together, then top the salad with the cheeses and hard boiled egg. Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.

8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with dressing on the side.

Ingredients

1 Quart water 1 Cup sugar 1 Cup FRESH lemon juice Sparkling Water (not tonic water, like Perrier)

Mix first three togther. Fill a tall glass 2/3 to 3/4 with Lemon mixture then fill with sparkling water.

An intresting variation is to puree some fruit (raspberries, strawberries, etc) with a little superfine or powdered sugar and put that in the glass before adding the the lemonade and water.

4 c (8 1/2-oz) shredded coconut 1/4 c Light corn syrup 1 pk (11 1/2-oz) milk chocolate pieces 1/4 c Vegetable shortening 26 Whole natural almonds (1-oz)

Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper. Set large wire cooling rack on paper; set aside.

Place coconut in large bowl; set aside.

Place corn syrup in a 1-cup glass measure. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute or until syrup boils. Immediately pour over coconut. Work warm syrup into coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.

This takes a little time, and yes, there is enough syrup. Using 1 level measuring tablespoon of coconut, shape into a ball by squeezing coconut firmly in palm of one hand, then rolling between both palms. (HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.)

Place 2 inches apart on wire racks. Let dry 10 minutes. Reroll coconut balls so there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up. Place milk chocolate and shortening in a 4-cup glass measure or 1 1/2 quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.

Working quickly, spoon 1 level measuring tablespoon of the chocolate over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess chocolate drip down onto waxed paper. While chocolate coating is still soft, lightly press whole almond on top of each. Let stand to set or place in refrigerator. Store in a single layer in airtight container.

Keeps best if refrigerated. Makes 26.
