CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING



Chicken Salad With Lemon-Sesame Dressing image

This main-dish salad is inspired by chicken larb, which is a dance of contrasts: light but rich, with tender meat, crunchy vegetables and seasonings that span sour, sweet, spicy and savory. This recipe dresses lean-but-juicy ground chicken or turkey with sesame oil, fresh lemon, miso, ginger, basil and celery, but there are many ways to adapt it: You could sauté crumbled tofu or cubed salmon instead of the chicken; or add yuzu kosho, wasabi paste or fried garlic. It's good on its own, or with roasted potatoes, grains, salad greens, soba noodles or wrapped in nori.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup white or yellow miso
1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tablespoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced, leaves reserved
1 cup basil leaves, large ones torn in half
2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds, or a combination (or furikake)

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
  • When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

IRRESISTIBLE CHICKEN & GRAPE SALAD



Irresistible Chicken & Grape Salad image

Grapes, chicken,macadamia nuts and celery with a hint of ginger. Delish! Another family favorite from my Junior League of Phoenix Recipe book. It is important to either shred the chicken or dice in very small pieces. Made this one time with large pieces of chicken and it overpowered the rest of the ingredients
