There's always meat leftover from a whole roasted chicken, particularly white meat in a house of dark meat lovers. This is a way to use chicken from the roast the day after. Or you could store the cooked meat in the freezer until you are ready. It's easy to use store bought mayonnaise to bind your salad together, but the flavor and lightness of homemade dressing is unbeatable! Use red wine vinegar with dijon mustard for a tangy blend.
Potatoes, 4 large
Chicken, cooked breast meat from a whole roasted bird
Pimentos, three sliced thin
Onion, small, in thin slices
Corn, whole kernel, one tin (400 gms approx)
For the dressing:
Red wine vinegar, three tablespoons
Dijon mustard, one tablespoon
Olive oil, one third cup
Brown sugar, heaping teaspoon
Salt, half teaspoon
Garlic, one clove crushed
Boil the potatoes until cooked. Allow the potatoes to cool before peeling and cutting in cubes. Cut up the chicken in bite size pieces or pull apart in strips. Mix cubed potato, chicken, onion, corn together in a large bowl.
Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and beat with a fork until blended. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Other optional ingredients: carrot, celery.

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get more "comfort" than this.
ReplyDeleteFor high-fibre diets, dasheen , green fig or yam will work just as well.
