MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS/700 G (SERVE AS SANDWICHES OR LETTUCE CUPS, OR JUST DIP CRACKERS IN IT AS A SNACK.) I love chicken salad, and it’s a perfect example of why sometimes simpler is just better. Sure, you could add yogurt, or avocado, or lots of herbs—or even grapes or nuts—but I think the brightness of lemon zest and a little parsley are all you need. My favorite way to eat it is with crackers at the beach or as an open-faced sandwich with lettuce.
