No bread chicken salad
Savor the delectable flavors of a freshly made no bread chicken salad, bursting with succulent strips of grilled chicken, crunchy greens, and zesty vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup beluga lentils, cooked (or any other sturdy lentil that doesn’t turn to mush)
- 1/2 apple, chopped (use your favorite kind – mine is Fuji or Gala)
- 1/2 rib celery, diced
- 1 small carrot, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayo (I use the olive oil type)
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1 tablespoon Horseradish Relish (see recipe below)
- 1 handful hazelnut gremolata
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken - I used leftover baked
Instructions:
- Mix together all the components in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Enjoy the dish either cold or at room temperature on its own or paired with a side dish.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of beet horseradish along with 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar, the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup, and the grated Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. This relish is a fantastic complement to steak, chicken, or fish. I found it versatile enough to add a tablespoon here and there, enhancing the flavor of various dishes. The relish offers a delightful zesty heat that can elevate the enjoyment of any gathering.
