Chicken And Bean Salad Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 x or possibly 4 c. cooked and liquid removed white beans (either cook them or possibly use canned)
- 2 x or possibly 3 small celery stalks, finely minced
- 1 x (15-ounce) can black olives (or possibly other, if you prefer)(whole or possibly minced)
- 2 Tbsp. fresh minced parsley or possibly tarragon (optional)
- 3/4 c. finely minced carrots
- 1 can liquid removed tuna or possibly chicken or possibly 1 cooked chicken breast, finely minced
- 1/2 med red onion (or possibly yellow), sauteed in extra virgin olive oil till fully cooked
- 3/4 c. mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (and zest if you have a fresh lemon)
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry chives (or possibly 1 tbsp if you have fresh)
Directions
- Soak and cook the beans (or possibly open the can) and drain them well. If you are using canned beans, it would be good to rinse them, to remove extra sodium.
- Cook the chicken breast and chop finely, or possibly open the can (either tuna or possibly chicken). Probably one could use a couple slices of ham as an alternative to tuna or possibly chicken.
- Add in all the other stuff and mix well. Mix the dressing with a fork and pour over the salad. Mix well. Prepare this early in the day, so which the flavors marry.
- Serve over shredded lettuce. Pass salt and pepper at the table.
