How To Make basil apple salad
-
1Pound chicken breasts to similar thickness & place in a pan with water to cover , add 2 TBLS salt and ½ tsp of pepper. Simmer until no longer pink, chill in fridge if making later or add to ice water in a bowl. (You can use store bought rotisserie chicken, shredded into bitesize pieces too)
-
2While chicken is chilling, mix lime juice, vinegar, sugar, remaining s & p, mix until sugar is dissolved.
-
3Core the apples and chop them into small bitesize pieces, leaving the peel on. Add to the lime vinegar dressing. The lime juice will keep the apples from getting brown.
-
4Chop the chicken into bite size pieces, add to the apple mixture, then toss in the peanuts, basil & mint.
-
5Do not over stir or mix, simply toss to cover with dressing. Garnish with mint or basil leaves and serve.
