"No more asking, &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s for dinner?&amp;quot; Each afternoon, Kim will reveal what she whipped up in her home kitchen the night before. She&amp;#039;ll also provide advice and recipes so you can make a similar meal yourself.    So either I&amp;#039;m excessively thin-skinned, or folks have been giving me subtle hints that soup and stew are not the best summertime fare. I had planned something different for tonight, but given the heat I scrapped my plans and decided to make a salad. I had romaine, so a chicken Caesar salad was a good fit.  I had purchased thighs and broiled them earlier in the week, so that&amp;#039;s what I used instead of the breasts. I didn&amp;#039;t have a Caesar salad kit, either, just some romaine lettuce (gorgeous stuff from the CSA box), a wedge of Parmesan and some croutons. I just had to make the dressing. I made a lemon vinaigrette with garlic, but I&amp;#039;m used to making balsamic dressing, which needs far less oil. I won&amp;#039;t even include the recipe here because it really was far too tart. A bracing vinaigrette would be good with the rich chicken thighs, crisp, hearty romaine and buttery avocado, but my version was just astringent. My husband thought I&amp;#039;d just sprinkled lemon over the greens. Instead, I had tossed the vinaigrette with the romaine and Parmesan, then arranged sliced chicken, tomatoes, avocados and croutons on top.  While searching out a salad to make, I found a couple more that sounded good. The Chinese Chicken Salad dresses greens, chicken and noodles in a gingery soy dressing. The Ranch Chicken Salad takes a shortcut and uses rotisserie chicken and bottled dressing for a 15-minute dinner.
