Roasted Sweet Potato & Chickpea Salad
Crisp-edged sweet potato, chickpeas, and peppery greens make a filling lunch. A lemon-tahini dressing brings it together without weighing it down.
Celery, a little Dijon, and fresh lemon keep this chicken salad lively. Tuck it into sandwiches or spoon it over greens for a lunch that holds up well.
Amounts scale with servings. Pan size and cooking time may need adjusting for larger batches.
Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the cooked chicken, celery, and parsley. Fold gently until the dressing coats everything.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve on bread or greens, or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Use fully cooled chicken so the dressing stays thick.
Dice the celery finely for a little crunch in every bite.
Replace parsley with dill for a sharper herbal flavor.
Use all mayonnaise if yogurt is not available.
Keep refrigerated at 40°F or below and use within 3–4 days of cooking the chicken. The clock starts when the chicken was cooked, not when the salad was mixed.
The dressing may separate and the celery softens. For better texture, freeze plain cooked chicken and mix the salad after thawing.
