Fingerling Potato, Grilled Chicken & Spinach Dressing
with Roasted Tomatoes

BLEND No.75 CREATIVE RECIPE

To stuff or not to stuff? That is the Thanksgiving question and my answer is simple, “Don’t do it!” My style of cooking embraces all that is crispy, crunchy, light and airy and packed with deep flavor, so anything that is gooey and schmaltzy is definitely out. I use this salad as my delicious replacement. I promise you will lick your fork. It is the perfect complement to turkey, with loads of flavor and texture.
