Makes 8 large salads. Regular toasted pecans taste yummy, too. You can make your own dressing or use a bottled dressing (we love Briannas Rich Poppy Seed Dressing), but NO dressing is just as delicious!
Ingredients
2
small watermelon
2
small cantaloupe
2
lime
2
cups
rotisserie chicken
,
chopped
1/4
red onion
,
finely chopped
1/2
cup
Gorgonzola cheese
Spicy Pecans
,
I buy at Trader Joe’s
1/2
cup
fresh basil
,
finely chopped (+8 leaves for garnish)
1/2
cup
Sweet Onion Poppyseed Dressing
,
or Briannas Rich Poppy Seed Dressing – optional
Instructions
Cut the melons in half, removing all seeds. Using a melon baller or small cookie dough scoop, carve out balls of melon and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melon, chicken, onion, cheese, basil, and nuts. Squeeze the fresh lime over the mixture.
If using a light dressing, such as a sweet (poppyseed) dressing, lightly toss it around the ingredients.
Fill the melon bowls with the chicken mixture, garnishing with fresh basil. Serve!
