h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Suprisingly, I haven't seen much mention of the "leftover dinner" based salads. Seafood salad, turkey salad, ham salad. . .

I realize for many people "salad" = "lettuce", but there are so many ways to make salads. I love that this is the topic of the week!

Here's my Chicken Salad:
2 chicken breasts (probably baked a night or two ago, adn long since removed from ever having flavour, but now you can dice them), red leaf lettuce thinly sliced (a respectable handful), a handful of romaine (similarly sliced), red onion diced (just a bit), yellow and green pepper (1 each, diced), a handful of red grapes (sans seeds and halved), goat cheese and walnuts. If you like your salads a little more bitter try using endive instead of the romaine, or add some on top of the other leafs.

There are two dressing choices (see how versatile?!?)
(My #1 choice) Dress the goodness with extra-virgin olive oil and raspberry balsamic vinegar, sprinkle on a bunch of salt and pepper and give a lemon a good squeeze.

Kids prefer creamy chicekn salad it seems, so for creamy goodness try a few spoonfuls of mayonaise and a nice squirt of basic yellow mustard. Use white pepper and salt along with some fresh dill. The dill really lights up the mayo.

YUM!
I wish I had made chicken last night.

strangely enough this recipe is very similar to the chicken salad recipe I posted a moment ago.
I hope no one thought chicaken was a fancy leaf they hadn't heard of yet!

Sorry all, just ignore me!
