My Girlfriend Meredith, you know the one...(refresh your memory HERE) had some ladies over for lunch the other day! She thought we needed a "Back to school, welcome to getting on top of the housework, have fun trying to help your middle schooler with that math, what do I pack for my kids lunch day after day" lunch. Wasn't that nice of her? When we got there, she had a beautiful table set and the salad was fantastic! She calls it her "Paul Newman Chicken Salad".
Paul Newman Salad
1 bag assorted greens
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 pkg slivered almonds
1 med. Onion chopped
1/2 pkg fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 box of Uncle Ben’s Long Grain & Wild Rice
1 bottle of Paul Newman's Olive Oil salad dressing
Chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Brown in a skillet with a small amount of butter or oil. Place in a mixing bowl. Cook rice according to directions. Mix chicken, rice, ¾ of almond pkg, onion, mushrooms and ½ bottle of salad dressing together. Chill. Spoon mixture over greens and top with remainder of almonds. Serve remaining dressing on the side to taste.
Thanks Meredith for a wonderful afternoon!

What a BEAUTIFUL DAY in your neighborhood!!!!!!!! That salad looks so yummy and I have a few guests to entertain yet. I am off to the grocery store to prepare to have lunch with Paul also. YUM
That sounds really good! We love Newman's dressing in our house, especially the Parmesan and Roasted Garlic. This recipe will definitely be bookmarked!
Mmmmm. That looks good. I wouldn't have thought of putting the rice in it. But that sure sounds good. Sad that Paul is no longer with us but we can dine with him in spirit or salad dressing. Whatever the case may be.
I love this! What a fabulous lunch!!
Seriously good! I have had this before and love it!
