Warm Chicken Liver Salad

You will like this if you like chicken livers, and you won’t like it if you don’t. Mmmmm. Chicken livers…

6 large chicken livers

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt or Vege-Sal and pepper

8 ounces bagged mixed greens—European or Parisian blends are good (250 g)

½ ripe avocado

1-inch (2 cm) wedge of a large sweet red onion, sliced paper thin

1/3 cup bottled Dijon vinaigrette (70 ml)

Cut each chicken liver into 3 or 4 pieces. Spray a large, heavy skillet with nonstick cooking spray and put it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the livers. Sauté the livers, turning them frequently, until juices run clear and no pink spots show on the outsides. (Take care not to overcook the livers! They get tough if you overcook them.) Turn off the burner when they’re done, and if you have an electric stove, remove the pan from the warm element. Salt and pepper lightly.

Pour the bagged greens into a big salad bowl. Use the tip of a spoon to scoop bits of avocado out of the shell and into the salad bowl. Add the sliced onion, pour the dressing over it all, and toss well. Divide the salad mixture between 2 plates.

Top each salad with half of the livers, and serve.

Yield: 2 servings, each with 15 grams of carbohydrates and 6 grams of fiber, for a total of 9 grams of usable carbs and 21 grams of protein.

This recipe is truly healthy. It gives you 892 milligrams of potassium and well over your daily requirement for vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, and folacin, not to mention half of your daily requirement for niacin, B6, and iron, and good doses of calcium, zinc, and B1. Indeed, I toyed with the idea of calling this “Big Pile of Nutrition Salad.” It’s got to be the most nutritious recipe in the book.
