And Grape Seed too!
BY MARCH 29, 2016
ON- 1 ½ cups seedless red grapes chopped
- 1 avocado peeled, piited, and diced
- ¼ cup red bell pepper chopped
- 2 tablespoons yellow bell pepper chopped
- 2 tablespoons sweet onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juce
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Place the grapes, avocado, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Season with lime juice, garlic salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well mixed. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.
- 8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- 1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 8 cups ounces red-leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 9 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile, shred half the chicken, discarding skin and bones. You should have about 2 cups meat. (Refrigerate remaining chicken, covered, up to 3 days.)
- In a medium bowl, mash together yogurt and cheese with a fork. Stir in chives and garlic and season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss together chicken, bacon, lettuce, and grapes. Divide among four plates and serve with yogurt dressing.
These two dishes will be a hit at your next gathering and you can tell everyone how grapes not only taste good, but they help keep their eyes healthy too.
