EatingWell: Start your meal with a sweet, savory salad

By Carolyn Malcoun, EatingWell on

Grill baguette slices over the coolest part of the grill until toasted on the bottom, 1 to 3 minutes. Turn the slices over, sprinkle with cheese and cook until the cheese melts, 1 to 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard and the remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add escarole, apples and onion; toss to coat.

Slice the chicken. Divide the salad among four plates, top each with some chicken and serve with the cheese toasts.
