July 8: Chicken salad

This is so dead simple as to not really be a recipe. Take a quantity of cooked poultry product1, enough to feed however many people you’re feeding. Add some quantity of fruit2. Add just enough yogurt3 to wet the mixture, and add a quantity of nuts4, more or less depending on how much you and yours like nuts.5 Serve up with some sort of starch.6 Quick, easy, and fairly cheap, depending on the ingredients you use.

1. I roasted a chicken this afternoon. Poached chicken parts would work too. Ditto for turkey. This is also a fine treatment for canned turkey or chicken.
2. We prefer grapes, but they were crazy expensive, so we chopped up part of an apple. Dried cranberries or raisins would be good too.
3. Plain or vanilla.
4. We tend towards cashews, but really, whatever you like will likely taste fine. I’m not sure how peanuts would be, though.
5. If the cook likes nuts as much as I do, hide them quickly after the addition, lest they all get eaten.
6. Homemade rolls, in our case.
