Curried Smoked Chicken and Wild Rice Salad image

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Leafy Green     Rice     Mango     Curry     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the dressing
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
3 tablespoons bottled mango chutney
2/3 cup olive oil
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
For the wild rice mixture
2 1/2 cups wild rice, rinsed
6 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch of scallions including the green part, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup golden raisins
6 whole smoked boneless chicken breast
3 cups mâche (lamb's-lettuce), washed well and spun dry

Steps:

  • Make the dressing:
  • In a blender or food processor blend the garlic, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the curry powder, the chutney, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil in a stream, add the sour cream and the water, adding additional water if necessary to reach the desired consistency, and blend the dressing until it is combined well. Transfer the dressing to a small bowl and stir in the coriander. The dressing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Make the wild rice mixture:
  • In a large heavy saucepan combine the wild rice with the water and the salt and simmer it, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until it is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the wild rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mixture well and let it cool completely. The wild rice mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the scallions and the raisins.
  • Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. Spoon the wild rice mixture onto one side of a large shallow serving dish, arrange the chicken on the other half, and arrange the mâche decoratively down the middle. Serve the dressing separately. (Alternatively, the wild rice mixture, the chicken, and the dressing may be tossed together in a large serving bowl and garnish with the mâche.)

CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SALAD



Chicken and Wild Rice Salad image

This is the perfect recipe to make for lunch or brunch. It is elegant enough to serve at a bridal luncheon of any kind but easy enough to throw together if you're just having some friends over. It also makes an easy weeknight dinner - especially in the summer when you don't feel like cooking. It can be made ahead (although don't add the green onions or tomatoes until just before serving or they might get a little soggy).

Chicken and Snap Pea Wild Rice Salad image

I learned how to harvest wild rice last fall and enjoy recipes to use the nutritious grass. This is a filling, flavorful dish.

Provided by Stacey

Categories     Salad     Grains     Rice Salad Recipes

Time 5h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups uncooked wild rice
6 cups water
⅓ cup tarragon vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
⅔ cup safflower oil
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup sliced celery
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup sliced green onion
½ pound sugar snap peas, strings removed
½ cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Bring the wild rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 20 to 45 minutes depending on the variety of wild rice. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Scrape into a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until cold.
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, garlic, dried tarragon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the safflower oil into the dressing in a thin, steady stream while whisking vigorously until the oil has been fully incorporated into the dressing; set aside. Stir the chicken, celery, parsley, and green onion into the cooled wild rice. Stir in the dressing until evenly blended. Cover the rice mixture, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
  • Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas, and cook uncovered until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the peas are cold, drain and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the peas and toasted almonds into the rice mixture just before serving.
