Description:
We counted, and Milk Street has no fewer than seventeen unique chicken salad recipes. There’s one where the chicken is tossed with bulgur and pomegranate molasses. We’ve got a smoked chicken salad with a classic South Carolina-style vinegar barbecue sauce. We once spent weeks perfecting a version that combines pulled chicken with ribbons of marinated zucchini. Why all this to-do for such an understated dish? Because we secretly think chicken salad is the perfect food. Extraordinarily versatile, nutritious and easy to store, chicken salad—or salads, plural—is what you want to have in your fridge all summer long for quick and satisfying meals. Join Milk Street’s April Dodd for a class where you’ll learn three of our favorite chicken salads. How are we managing to make three chicken salads in 75 minutes? By using just one flawless technique to perfectly poach our chicken, yielding meat that is tender and easy to shred. With our chicken taken care of, we employ simple, reliable ratios of chicken to dressing to fun stuff to produce three chicken salads that taste completely unique. Whether you choose to make our Spicy Sichuan Chicken Salad, an herbaceous Chicken Salad with Tahini Green Goddess Dressing or a lime- and fish-sauce spiked Vietnamese Chicken Salad, you’ll come away from this class as devoted to chicken salad as we are.
