Elevate your chicken salad with the peppery pop of baies roses (pink peppercorns) in this elegant dish perfect for lunch or a light supper. Tossed with celery, capers, shallots, and toasted pecans, and bound together by a creamy Greek yogurt-Dijon dressing, this recipe is vibrant and full of texture. Serve it with warm pita, crackers, or atop fresh greens for a meal that’s easy, elevated, and bursting with flavor.
Baies Roses & Caper Chicken Salad with Yogurt Dressing
Put the salad ingredients into a bowl and toss to mix. In a separate bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and stir to mix through. Sprinkle on a little lemon juice (start with juice from a quarter of a lemon), which will brighten and balance the flavors. Taste the salad and add salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Let the salad rest for about half an hour before serving, so that the flavors can meld.
Recipe Note
This salad is a wonderful use for leftover roasted chicken. If you poach chicken breasts to use in this salad, be sure to include some spices (bay leaf, allspice berries, black pepper) and maybe some wine in the poaching liquid. Feel free to substitute walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds for the pecans.
