What would we do without chicken? When in doubt, make something with chicken, right? It's so versatile and easy to disguise. For this meal, I wanted to create a chicken salad that would be a little out of the ordinary. Add dates! With a few ingredients we had a nice light dinner - very Spring-like!
Chicken Salad with Dates
serves 2
2 cups pre-cooked chicken breast meat, chopped. I baked
them with a little olive oil and herb de Provence
10 dates, chopped
1 handful sliced almonds
1 Tbsp red onion, chopped
2 Tbsp organic mayonnaise
1 tsp organic horseradish mustard
Place all the ingredients into a bowl. Mix well and mound onto salad greens, with avocado slices and maybe a bit of wonton strips for crunch. Drizzle with your favorite dressing. This would be great in a sandwich, too!
Looks so good Wendy, I love serving chicken and tuna salad for supper in the warmer months. I love the addtion of horseradish mustard, try adding some fennel next time it adds a real fresh flavor!
ReplyDeleteThat's sounds really good! I love fennel.
DeleteDid I already know you like Dario Castagno, I love him too. He just published a new coffee table book have you got it? Maybe we could do an informal book club with one of his many books?
ReplyDeleteI have all his books except the new one. They're special because we actually stayed in his village for a week..good times and familiar surroundings.
