I can never make enough of this chicken salad. It disappears instantly. The ingredients are refined. For instance, the use of shallots gives the salad a gentle flavor unlike screaming onions. Thyme, too, adds a subtle herb taste. This dish should be eaten outside in a garden setting. Being outside is no reason to not use china. Divas love eating anything off your best china. Be sure to wear a big floppy hat, because divas take precautions against premature aging due to sun exposure. Divas have several floppy hats to wear with their oversized sunglasses.
Refined Chicken Salad
last night's chicken breast, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
a bit of celery, chopped
a sprinkle of thyme
a spoonful of capers
a dollop of mayonnaise
a smaller dollop of Dijon mustard
Mix.
Make it a meal: Serve inside a quality croissant. Divas watching their waists can have theirs inside a large piece of a Romaine lettuce leaf and eat like a tortilla or soft taco or serve atop a bed of shredded lettuce. Another option is to stuff a hollowed-out tomato with the chicken salad. Share a small bowl of lightly salted potato chips or wheat crackers for a bit of crunch with fellow divas. Health nuts can substitute baby carrots. Divas prefer the chips.
Wine: Chardonnay or a medium-bodied Pinot Gris. Health nuts can drink water. More chardonnay for the divas.
