2 Ingredients Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
- roasted chicken – 2 medium chicken breasts, (can be either white or dark meat)
- celery – 2 stalks
The dressing can be just plain mayonnaise, but it is somewhat heavy for me, so I take olive oil, add French mustard, mix it together to emulsify and add a little bit of mayonnaise just for the color.
Dressing:
- olive oil – 1/4 cup
- French mustard – 1tbsp
- mayonnaise – 1 tsp
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
The celery adds crunch and tastes like pickle in this salad. And as always with chicken salads – you can serve it on a plate, make a sandwich with it, put it in a container and take to work etc. The easiest possible way to utilize your roasted chicken leftovers!
Cucumber salad
Cannot be any easier – thinly sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced garlic, finely chopped dill.
Add salt, pepper. Dress with fresh lemon juice. That’s all. Great refreshing side for any fish, chicken or meat dish.
Eggplant leaves
Tried something new today with eggplant – sliced it thin, but not all the way, keeping the stem. Brushed leaves with olive oil, salt, pepper.
