WARM CHICKEN AND CHORIZO SALAD



Warm Chicken and Chorizo Salad image

Provided by Clare Ferguson

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Olive     Pork     Poultry     Vegetable     Sauté     Sausage     Arugula     Zucchini     Spring

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 mild or spicy chorizo sausages, about 4 ounces., cut crosswise into coin-shaped slices, or a 6 ounce piece, cut into chunks
12-16 baby zucchini, halved lengthwise, about 10 oz.
1 lb. boneless, skinless, cooked or smoked chicken, cut or pulled into long strips
4 cups loosely packed mixed red and green lettuce leaves
1/2 bunch arugula or watercress
16-20 black olives, about 3 ounces
sprigs of cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
kosher salt or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
  • Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
  • Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with slightly soft flesh. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
  • Use high-quality chorizo: Spanish chorizo is a good choice for this recipe, as it has a smoky and spicy flavor. You can also use Mexican chorizo, but it will be slightly less spicy.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo: Chorizo is a cured sausage, so it doesn't need to be cooked for very long. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a light touch when dressing the salad: You don't want to overpower the flavors of the avocado and chorizo. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve warm: This salad is best served warm, so that the flavors of the chorizo and avocado can meld together. You can also chill the salad for a few hours before serving, but let it come to room temperature before eating.

Conclusion:

This warm avocado salad with spicy chorizo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of creamy avocado, smoky chorizo, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
