5 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast

1/2 tomato, cut in 4 wedges or 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
8 medium yellow banana pepper rings
8 medium red banana pepper rings
4 Spanish olives
4 black olives


Coat both sides of chicken breast with Cajun seasoning. Grill or broil about 3 to 4 minutes each side, until juices run clear. When cool, slice thinly.

Place salad mixture in a large salad bowl, preferably glass; add tomato. On salad, place yellow pepper rings inside red rings with olives in center. Top with sliced chicken. Serve Cajun dressing on the side.

Cajun Dressing:
2 cups mayonnaise
3/4 cup bottled white wine vinaigrette
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. chopped garlic


Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
