Garden Fresh Chicken and Black Bean Salad

Baby romaine and red leaf lettuces are the base for this vegetable-packed salad. Topped with chicken and black beans, then drizzled with a honey mustard poppyseed dressing, this salad made me very happy today! I might as well confess that I’m a bit obsessive about salad dressings. I tried three other versions before this one and this is a winner!

I went to the Farmer’s Market this weekend and came home with so many great new vegetables to try! This week, in my CSA box from Chow Locally, I had Watermelon Radishes. Have you heard of them before? I hadn’t. They are so pretty! I’m not normally a big fan of radishes, but these are different. The flavor is mild and almost sweet. As you can see from the picture below, they look like miniature slices of watermelon when you slice them.
