This collection gathers twenty-five recipes: American classics (Waldorf, Cobb, buffalo, curried), Mediterranean and Greek preparations, Southeast Asian salads from Thailand and Vietnam, Tex-Mex versions (fajita, taco, southwest), a tandoori fusion salad, and modern grain- and fruit-based variations. Each recipe includes region or tradition, servings, prep time, ingredients, and method.
A general note on technique: rotisserie or poached chicken works well for mayo-based salads where the chicken is diced small, while grilled or pan-seared chicken suits salads where it's served sliced on top. For Southeast Asian and Mediterranean salads with acidic dressings, toss just before serving so the greens or cabbage stay crisp.
