It’s the perfect dish for a Memorial Day picnic. Blogger Christina Hitchcock of It’s a Keeper, prepares Garlic Lime Chicken with Pineapple-Jalepeno.

Garlic Lime Chicken
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh onion, minced
3/4 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried cilantro
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice (1 medium lime)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Combine first ten ingredients in a ziploc bag.  Add chicken to bag, making sure that all of the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.

Remove chicken from bag and discard remaining marinade. Grill until the chicken’s juices run clear.  Serve with Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa.

Blogger Christina Hitchcock of It’s A Keeper prepares a Strawberry Salad with Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing.

Strawberry Salad with Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing
3 hearts of Romaine lettuce
1/2 of a small red onion, thinly sliced
10-15 strawberries, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
Tear lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.  Toss with sliced onion and strawberries.
In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients.  Whisk until smooth.  Dressing can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until needed. I prefer to serve the salad dressing on the side and add it to each serving of salad individually.
