Salad
Like most anyone, I love a straightforward chicken salad flavored with celery, parsley, maybe some scallion and lots of mayonnaise.
But into that basic recipe, try adding a fistful of cooked wild rice or couscous; or a significant presence of red seedless grapes and chunks of blue cheese. Or vary the basics with the addition of some rough-diced cooked Yukon gold potato slicked with mustard vinaigrette instead of mayo.
