Roasted Chicken with Warm Winter Greens Salad
In this recipe for simple, satisfying winter fare, sweet yet tangy dried cranberries dot a salad of pleasantly bitter greens. They add bright bursts of flavor that offset the buttery toasted walnuts in the salad, the warm vinaigrette made with pan drippings and the richness of the golden brown roasted bird.
