Ellens Chicken Salad Recipes

Surprisingly light but decadent-tasting salad. The balsamic reduction provides enough moisture so that no additional salad dressing is needed. Serves 2 entree-sized salads or 4 small appetizer salads.

Ellen Greenblatt, a friend who lives in Berkeley, Calif., shared this recipe with me. Toss a green salad with this dressing, and no additional herbs will be necessary. It is perfect for chicken salad or drizzled over a cooked chicken breast; use it over shrimp, salmon or sliced tomatoes. Ms. Greenblatt uses a mini food processor, but the dressing also can be made in a mortar and pestle. Try it on some of the salads in the Recipes for Health index.

With grilling and smoking season coming on, it's nice to have a deliciously different way to use some leftover smoked chicken. The great smoky flavor comes through the simple dressing, and the sweet taste of red grapes complements it nicely. Serve over lettuce for a stand alone salad, or use in a sandwich, if you prefer.

This recipe can be played with. You can use all, or just a few of the vegetables. Choice of pasta goes the same. I even tried it with tortollini and it was delicious. I just suggest that you DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ON THE DRESSING AND SALAD SEASONING. I have given out this recipe before and have to stress that since many did not use those. Using an assortment of peppers is great for the color.

This is an outstanding chicken salad recipe. It makes delicious sandwiches for afternoon tea parties - have copies of the recipe on hand! The recipe comes from "Swe-e-e-et Tea & Magnolias" by Ellen Powell. Note: Salad cubes are produced in North Carolina by the Mt. Olive Pickle Company. The product is available in grocery stores throughout the southeastern United States. Finely diced pickles are a decent substitution, however.
