Best Chicken Salad Recipe Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
 Salads are enjoyed year-round, but they are especially gratifying in the summer, when the produce section is brimming with fresh vegetables. Toss in some lean protein, and a salad becomes a nutritious all-in-one meal -- no side dishes required.
What's more, most of the components can be made ahead of time and quickly assembled just before serving. Poached fish and chicken, for example, stay moist when refrigerated overnight. And preparing their dressings in advance actually enhances them.
Though easy to make, the four salads here are complex in texture and taste: A cold salad with soft soba noodles and creamy tofu and avocado gets crunch from sesame seeds. Our warm Thai-influenced composed salad includes grilled sirloin, cabbage, carrots, and chopped peanuts. Tender poached salmon served atop yellow beets, crisp turkey bacon, and baby spinach has layers of flavor, as does chicken mixed with potatoes, butter lettuce, and a lemony dill dressing.
Whether you prefer a version that incorporates beef, tofu, fish, or chicken, these salads are perfectly nutritious -- and perfect for summer.

 For a salad with the best texture, shred the chicken instead of cubing it. The technique is simple: Holding a fork, tines down, in each hand, pull the meat into pieces along the grain.

    Prep: 30 mins
    Total Time: 30 mins
    Servings: 4

Ingredients:
    2 cups fresh cilantro leaves and soft stems
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    Coarse salt and ground pepper
    1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin and bones removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
    1/4 medium red cabbage (8 ounces), cored and thinly sliced crosswise
    1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
    2 scallions, thinly sliced
    1 large head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
    1/2 cup cashews

Directions:
    Make dressing: In a blender, combine cilantro, lime juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
    In a large bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, bell pepper, and scallions; season with salt and pepper. In another large bowl, toss lettuce with 1/2 cup dressing. Divide among four bowls, and top with chicken mixture. Drizzle all with remaining dressing, and sprinkle with cashews.
 Quick-cooking quinoa is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with protein, iron, and fiber. It is also the foundation for a main-course salad with chicken and springy vegetables. This recipe comes from our book "One Pot."

    Prep: 15 mins
    Total Time: 45 mins
    Servings: 4

Ingredients:
    3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
    4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced lengthwise
    1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
    1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, halved
    1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 1/3 cups water
    1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
    Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:
    In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add quinoa, chicken, lemon zest, and the water; bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 11 minutes. Add asparagus and peas, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed and vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.
    Remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes. Shred chicken and fluff quinoa. Add lemon juice and parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with scallion greens and drizzle with oil.
 This recipe was created with flexibility in mind, and is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Adjust the quantity of the ingredients depending on what you have, the flavors you like, and the number you're serving.

Ingredients:
    Cooked chicken
    Ginger
    Assorted vegetables

Directions:
    Toss together shredded cooked chicken
    and very thinly sliced vegetables (such as
    radishes, carrots, celery, endive, or cucumber);
    dress with minced ginger, lime juice, salt,
    pepper, and oil.

Ingredients:
    4 good-sized beetroots, different colours if possible, scrubbed, peeled and cut into fine matchsticks
    3 ripe pears, peeled, cored and cut into matchsticks
    1 lemon oil dressing recipe
    sea salt
    freshly ground black pepper
    200 g feta cheese
    1 small bunch fresh mint, smallest leaves picked
    1 large handful sunflower seeds, optional

Method:
When most people think about beetroot in salads, they think of big vinegary crinkle-cut chunks from a jar and immediately say no! But remember, beetroots are only vinegary when they're pickled. When simply boiled or roasted they are juicy and sweet as you like. Raw beetroot is amazing in salads, giving you a deep, earthy, minerally flavour, lots of crunch and, of course, incredible colours! Did you know you can get golden and stripy beetroot as well as purple? Have a look next time you're at a farmers' market or buy some seeds and grow a few yourself.
Remember to wear an apron when chopping beetroot, and wash your board and hands afterwards or you'll get red fingerprints everywhere. If your knife skills aren't up to speed yet, buy one of those matchstick peelers or matchstick mandolins in good cook shops. Then you'll be really quick at it.
Dress the beetroot and pear matchsticks in a little of the lemon oil dressing and season with some salt and pepper. Taste to check that the flavours are balanced and lovely, and add a little more lemon juice to check the sweetness of the pears and beetroots if you need to.
Divide the salad between four plates or put it on a big platter, crumble over the creamy white feta, and sprinkle over the baby mint leaves and the sunflower seeds if you're using them. Simple, but it's a treat and a half.
