Club Salad

Recipe from Devlin Wine Cellars, first shared on Web Winery in 2001. No longer trading

A main-course salad from Cheryl Devlin, a UC Master Gardener: grilled chicken marinated in Chenin Blanc and herbes de Provence, with tomatoes, crisp pancetta and a basil dressing over garden greens. It was also published in the Master Gardener cookbook of Santa Clara County.

Ingredients

Chicken and marinade

Salad

Dressing

Method

  1. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 4 to 6 hours.
  2. Grill the chicken, let it cool, and slice it across the grain.
  3. For the dressing, puree the egg yolks, garlic, Tabasco, lemon juice, vinegar and basil in a blender. With the motor on high, pour in the oil slowly until the dressing is thick.
  4. Divide the greens among four plates.
  5. Toss the chicken, tomatoes and pancetta with the dressing and divide it over the greens. Garnish with the avocado and croutons.

Pair with

The winery didn't suggest a wine to drink with it; Chenin Blanc goes into the marinade.

Notes

  • The original says "¼ sauteed pancetta bacon" with no unit (a quarter pound, perhaps, or a quarter cup).
  • The dressing uses raw egg yolks.
