1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed with a garlic press
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups (1 pound) cooked, diced chicken breast meat

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup (about 10) fresh figs, diced
3 cups (4 ounces) mixed salad greens
6 tablespoons (1 ounce) chopped fresh mint
In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Add the chicken, chickpeas, cucumber, onion and figs; stir and toss to coat well (see note). Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
