6 SALAD recipes
Crunchy Thai chicken salad with crispy wonton strips, bean sprouts, and peanuts tossed in a zesty lime-fish sauce dressing with fresh mint, basil, and lemongrass.
A no-cook chicken salad with fresh ginger, artichoke hearts, baby corn, sesame oil, and soy sauce tossed in mayo and served over crisp lettuce. Light, zesty, and packed with unexpected textures.
Garlicky pasta chicken salad made with 6 whole heads of garlic slow-cooked in olive oil and puréed with basil and rosemary. Tossed with rotini, Parmesan, and toasted walnuts.
I made this for my bridge club. All eight gals including me loved it. The other seven asked for the recipe. It's easy to make and delicious. The lemon and fresh basil add a lot to the recipe. Interestingly enough, Kraft doesn't have this on their recipe web site even though it's one of their recipes.
Chilled orzo pasta salad with fresh corn, smoked chicken, red pepper, and basil in a sweet-spicy rice vinegar and lime dressing. Topped with toasted pine nuts.
Chunky pesto with two kinds of basil, leftover chicken, pecans, and anchovies for depth. A no-cook sauce that turns pasta salad or hot pasta into a full meal.
