Here, the classic chicken salad gets a little messed with. Make a bunch of wraps or sandwiches in the morning, pack ’em in your cooler, and get yourself to some grassy knoll or sandy beach.
The chicken caramelizes in the aromatic apricot sauce as it bakes. A perfect easy, mid-week meal.
Serve this sharp and fruity pickle alongside rich meat, such as pork or duck, or with fried tofu and sticky rice, or mix it in with fresh fruit and leaves such as watercress and pink grapefruit salad.
For this rich summer roast, make sure your plums are ripe and sweet, but still firm, to balance the heat and acidity in the chicken.
The vinegar, oil, cheese, and salt all play off each other, taming the sweetness that would normally inhibit someone from consuming, say, six plums.
What happens to these plums is some Dumbledore-style wizardry. Suddenly a one-note piece of fruit is as complex as a Saturday crossword puzzle.
Take the sweet, just-ripe apricot into savory territory by tossing with jalapenos, scallions, fresh ginger, lemon verbena, and red onion in this party-ready summer salsa.
Take this crispy, crunchy, tart, fruity, slightly bitter summer salad anywhere. The colors will wow guests and party-goers alike, and it’s a snap to put together.
Tart cherries, creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, and sweet balsamic drizzle are a delicious combination of flavor on top of this grilled pizza!
