So today was a busy day spent with my daughter who will have twin girls any day! I cooked supper at their house with every intention of making just regular, plain, non-exciting chicken salad when I got home. But while looking in the fridge for pickle relish, I spied the capers, which led to the kalamata olives, which led to the jar of sun dried tomatoes. You get the idea. A new recipe was born and I'm sure it will be even better tomorrow.
3 large chicken breasts, poached, cooled and shredded
3 boiled eggs, finely chopped
2 T. capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
2 T. chopped oregano
Place all these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Dressing:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 - 3 T. red wine vinegar
1/2 t. sugar
Whisk the dressing ingredients together until smooth and creamy and gently fold into the above listed ingredients. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top with lemon zest.
