Dan'S Favorite Salad
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons shallots minced
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole chicken breast roasted, cold, cut up
- 1 large carrot shaved
- 2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons shallots minced
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens baby lettuces, spring mix, baby spinach; whatever you like

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole chicken breast roasted, cold, cut up
- 1 large carrot shaved
- 2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
- In a blender, combine olive oil, vinegar, tarragon, mustard, shallots, agave, salt, and pepper. (You can also whisk this together in a bowl, but the vinaigrette becomes nicely emulsified in the blender.) Blend until well combined. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and agave, if needed. I don't like to serve a salad already dressed, so I suggest transferring it to a small bowl and passing at the table. Stick dressing in the fridge if you're not going to use it right away.
- In a large bowl, combine the washed greens, arugula and tomato. Scatter chicken and carrot shavings over top of greens and tomato. Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top of everything and serve immediately.
