Spanish-influenced salad-for-dinner

This salad-for-dinner gives a nod to Spain, with sautéed almonds dusted in smoked Spanish paprika, a Spanish Jerez vinegar dressing and shavings of manchego cheese. I found this recipe in the April 2005 issue of Bon Appétit. I size up the original recipe so there is plenty for dinner, use olive oil instead of butter, and add a cup of tear drop tomatoes. Because of the durability of the friseéé the salad holds up well after dressing and can be enjoyed the next day.

Roast your own chicken or cheat with a grocery store chicken

If you don't have time to roast a chicken, cheat with a store-bought roast chicken. The easiest way to shred store-bought chicken is to shred it right when you get home from the store when the chicken is still warm. Once refrigerated shredding is harder. You can make ahead by shredding the chicken, cleaning the lettuce, and preparing the almonds and dressing in advance. Assemble right before you serve.
