Chicken kebab salad

A dinner salad that starts on the grill.

  • 8 links sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 thin baguette
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt, pepper to taste

Soak wooden skewers in water at least 30 minutes.

Cut baguette into slices, crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick.

Slice chicken breasts thinly, crosswise.

Slice sausage links into two-inch chunks.

Thread onto skewers: bread, chicken, sausage. Repeat 3 times and ending with another bread. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Lay on a preheated medium grill, and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side. Note: It is best to use indirect heat, or the bread may end up burned.

Salad dressing

  • 2 anchovies
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • ———
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Whirl all ingredients except oil in blender or food processor until combined. Pour in olive oil in a thin stream while the processor is running.

Salad

  • 2 large heads romaine lettuce

Chop romaine and put in a large salad bowl. When the kebabs are done, slide the components off into the salad bowl. Add some dressing and toss to combine.

For an elegant touch, garnish with some shaved parmesan.
