CHICKEN SALAD WITH APRICOTS, CELERY, AND BLUE CHEESE

This summer-season chicken salad is a dance between sweet, creamy, and acidic flavors and tender, crunchy, and juicy ingredients. Make it in early summer when apricots are peaking and choose a fairly nonassertive blue cheese that won't overwhelm the mix.

APRICOT PECAN CHICKEN SALAD

During the week, I sometimes grab lunch at Whole Foods. The hot foods and salad bars are extensive but I go there especially for two things: cabbage crunch and apricot chicken salad. Given the chance, I can eat these for lunch everyday. It really is hard to go wrong with chicken salad but adding sweet, juicy, dried apricots livens up this classic lunch dish. For my own recipe, I used the left over roasted chicken but, really, any well seasoned pieces of chicken breast (pre-cooked) can be used. www.healthyandgourmet.blogspot.com
