Easy chicken salad recipe. Easy and healthy chicken and red grape salad. Salads may be served as a hors d’ouverture at the beginning of a meal, as an accompaniment to or following the main course, or even as the main course itself.

Fruit salads are served as a refreshing dessert. All vegetables used should be fresh. The leafy salad vegetables add more texture and flavor. A mixed green salad should have only 2 or 3 varieties of greens in it.

Use a good salad dressing.

French Dressing

Ingredients: 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, 3 parts olive oil, 1 part vinegar

Instructions: Crushed garlic, dry mustard, and chopped fresh herbs may be added. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed garlic, mustard, olive oil, and seasoning. Mix well. Pour in the vinegar, then stir in fresh herbs. Oils vary. Some people prefer olive, other like safflower or peanut, or even a combination of two oils.

You have a large choice of vinegar, such as cider, red wine, white wine, and flavored vinegar such as garlic, tarragon, red or white, oregano, basil, or thyme. I prefer freshly squeezed lemon juice with some salads. A clove of garlic slivered, put into oil, and left overnight gives extremely delicious flavor. Ripe olives covered with olive oil and left overnight or for a few days gives a strong olive flavor.
