Ingredients
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pound chicken cutlets
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 bunch flat leaf spinach
1 cup seedless organic red grapes, halved
1/2 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 ears corn, shucked and removed from cob
1 avocado, halved and thinly sliced
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, vinegar, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium. Sprinkle chicken with coriander; season with salt and pepper.
