QUINOA SALAD WITH CHICKEN, ALMONDS AND AVOCADO
Tricolor quinoa combines the tenderness of white quinoa with the pop of the red and black grains. All soak up a Dijon-sherry vinaigrette in this blend of chewy tangy cranberries, crunchy salty almonds, creamy avocado and refreshing parsley. This salad -tasty warm, at room temperature or cold - is a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken. It's perfectly satisfying without the chicken, too, if you're vegetarian.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORN, QUINOA AND YOGURT DRESSING
While traditional chicken salad is rich with tender meat and mayonnaise, this one embraces pops of texture and color. Combining quinoa and corn, two staples in Inca, Aymara and Quechua cooking, is a great balancing act of earthy and sweet. For this salad's dressing, mashing onion and chile together with salt (like in guacamole) releases their assertive juices into a tangy blend of Greek yogurt and lime. Since this is a room temperature salad, you can make the chicken and quinoa and reserve them up to a few days ahead, or let the whole salad meld for up to 3 days in the fridge. Eat the dish on its own, over romaine or Little Gem leaves, or with more pops, such as pepitas, mint, radishes, jicama, Cotija or Parmesan.

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the chicken breasts, corn cobs, 1/2 onion and 1/2 jalapeño. Cover with about 1 inch of water and season generously with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the chicken is just cooked through (do not overcook!), 7 to 10 minutes. Skim most of the foam off the water; transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Discard the corn cobs, onion and jalapeño; leave the water in the pot.
- While the chicken cooks, coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 onion and 1/2 jalapeño together. Sprinkle with salt, then chop and smash using the side of your knife until a juicy, coarse paste forms. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer to a large bowl, along with the lime zest and juice.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, use two forks to shred it.
- To the reserved water in the pot, add the quinoa, bring to a boil, and cook according to package instructions until the quinoa grows white tails and is tender but not mushy. Drain the quinoa, run it under cold water until cool to the touch, then shake it very dry.
- Add the quinoa, corn kernels, chicken and yogurt to the large bowl and stir to combine; season to taste with salt. Serve over lettuce leaves, if desired, and top with any garnishes, if using. The chicken-quinoa mixture keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and adjust seasonings with salt and lime juice as needed, as flavors will shift from the chill of the fridge.

Steps:
- Bring water, quinoa, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a small baking dish with foil.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Brush with olive oil and sear in the hot pan until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into ½-inch cubes.
- Combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, and honey in a cup. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk rapidly until dressing is smooth.
- Combine arugula, quinoa, and chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat.
