SMOKED CHICKEN SALAD
Smoked chicken is given a husky taste that complements the inherent sweetness of the fowl and brings a hearty note to the pasta it's combined with. The sweeter-smelling the wood used, the more alluring the flavor it leaves behind. Hickory or fruitwoods, maple, oak and alder chips, dried grapevine trimmings or herb branches lend a sweet, firm flavor to food cooked in a closed container above it.

Steps:
- Combine the shallot and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by a third, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the walnut oil, canola oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- Place the chicory in a large bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates. Arrange the chicken and pears over the chicory. Scatter the walnuts on top and place the carrots in a mound in the center of each plate. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.
