Mixed Green Salad with Chicken & Sour Cherry Vinaigrette

Ingredients

½ cup sour cherries, pitted and chopped

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed

3 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme, divided

½ teaspoon salt, divided

½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon minced shallot

5 ounces mixed salad greens

½ cup crumbled blue cheese

½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip)

¼ cup dried sour cherries

Directions

Combine sour cherries and sugar in a large bowl; set aside.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush chicken with 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, add vinegar, shallot and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the cherries. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add greens, cheese, walnuts and dried cherries; toss to coat. Slice the chicken and serve on top of the salad. How many pounds have you lost this month?
