Very cool salad recipe I found in the "Roots & Reef" paper

By: Adrian Vernon

1/3 cup light mayonnaise

1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar

1-2 tbsp. fresh chopped sweet basil

2 ½tsp. brown sugar, divided
¼tsp garlic, chopped
1 tsp. cracked pepper
1¼lb. boneless, skinless chicken
breast halves
1 cup small honeydew melon balls or
cubes
1 large green onion, chopped
1/3 cup chopped pecans (or favorite
nut), roasted


Preheat grill to medium. In a medium bowl blend mayonnaise, rice wine vinegar, ½ tsp.
brown sugar, cracked pepper and salt to taste. Cover and chill.
Blend the remaining 2 tsp. brown sugar and garlic in a small bowl. Rub chicken evenly with
sugar mixture. Grill, covered, 8

Cool slightly.
Coarsely chop or shred chicken. Add chicken, melon and green onions to dressing mixture.
Serve immediately or chill before serving. Sprinkle with nuts before serving. (SERVES 4)
