Asparagus & Chicken Salad

Bountiful Basket items used: White Asparagus, Green Grapes, Oranges, Romaine Lettuce

Tonight we tried a new salad recipe using lots of BB items!! It turned out pretty good! Here's how ya make it:
Thaw chicken breasts and place in large ziploc bag.
In bowl combine: juice from 2 oranges (about 1/2 cup OJ), 1/4 C lime juice, 1 or 2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper, 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil.
Pour 1/2 of mixture into the bag with the chicken. Let sit.
Prepare white asparagus. Wash and cut off tough ends. Place in new ziploc bag and add 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix till coated.
Grill chicken and asparagus.
While they grill, prepare the salad.
I combined romaine lettuce, grapes cut in half, orange slices also cut in half, and chopped up fresh french beans ("haricot vert" from the store). Pour the rest of the dressing onto the salad and mix.
Remove asapargus before it gets burnt. I left mine on a little too long.
Remove the chicken when it's cooked all the way through.

Cut up the chicken and lay on top of the salad. Top with the asparagus and serve!
Enjoy!
