BEST CHICKEN SALAD EVER

This recipe uses canned chicken, but if you want to use leftover chunked chicken or turkey, it 's even better. A dab of sweet relish is a nice taste surprise, and we love the apples, pecans, and raisins. The creamy salad dressing finishes it off nicely.

CHICKEN AND CABBAGE SALAD WITH MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE

This simple salad calls for a specific set of ingredients, but it can also be considered a loose guideline. Thinly sliced leftover steak, shredded salmon or sliced dense tofu could easily take the place of the chicken - and that chicken can be left over from the night before, whether it's been poached, grilled, pan-seared or cooked on a rotisserie. Any crisp, crunchy lettuce will do. You could opt for shredded carrots and diced jicama instead of cucumber and radish, or add a handful of split cherry tomatoes and raw snap peas cut on a bias. As long as the basic balance of protein, dressing, greens, vegetables and herbs is maintained, the rest is up to you and your vegetable drawer.

8 ounces cooked, shredded chicken (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup Miso-Sesame Vinaigrette, plus more as needed

1 small cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeds removed, then sliced on a sharp bias into 1/4-inch slivers
8 small radishes, thinly sliced
1 (2-inch) knob fresh ginger, peeled, cut into thin planks, then slivered into fine matchsticks
Handful fresh mint leaves, very roughly chopped
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, very roughly chopped
1 small red onion or a few scallions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

CHICKEN AND HERB SALAD WITH NUOC CHAM

Nuoc cham, a Vietnamese sauce bright with lime juice and chile, is tossed into this simple, satisfying salad to give it a salty-sweet finish. Thinly sliced bell pepper and shaved cabbage provide crunch, while meat pulled from a store-bought rotisserie chicken - or any leftover chicken - soaks up the dressing. Serve this by itself, or alongside steamed rice or room-temperature cooked rice vermicelli.
