A Cold Salad....


By Tangerine's Kitchen (Visit website)



I sure had a lovely Easter break enjoying food cooked by my mother. Finding it real hard to get back to the mundane routine back home. The daughter is keeping herself busy with her new found interests. I spend time buried in cookbooks only to glance at the pictures and not cook anything until meal times wishing and hoping A says we'll order in. I wonder if everyone goes through these phases. I do and am still in that phase.
In two days I'm on a weekend trip and to finish the perishable goods, I had no other go but use them up and this is what I came up with.
A cold salad consisting of some of my favourite ingedients: potatoes, boiled chicken and scallions with mayo.

Scallions for their mildness and I tend to use them a lot in mysoups and salads to a larger extent.
I like chicken the most in its simplest form i.e. boiled with salt and pepper.
Potatoes are a main stay for my family; whether grilled, mashed or just plain boiled, it is definitely a favourite.
Mayonnaise a favourite among a lot of people and though it has a high fat content, I chose to ignore that fact sometimes.

What you need are:
2 cups of boiled chicken (cubed)2 cups of boiled potatoes (cubed)1 cup of scallions(chopped)Mayonnaise- 4 tbspSalt and pepper- to suit one's palateLettuce Leaves

Add the boiled chicken and potates to a bowl. Season it with salt and pepper. Add in the mayo and toss it gently ensuring that you do not break the chicken or the potatoes. Refrigerate until you serve.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves and arrange them in a bowl. Allow this to chill.
Before serving, spoon the salad onto the bed of lettuce leaves. Arrange sliced of boiled eggs if you choose to.

A simple but a beautiful looking salad. You could always substitute the calorie loaden Mayo with pureed cottage cheese, sour cream or any dressing. It works with all of them.
