Chicken salad might be the easiest of the classic American salads to reinvent. Here, I’ve used a balsamic-based dressing because it lends so much flavor. Blanching the carrots allows them to absorb the dressing, giving them a slight pickled quality. Cannellini beans lend additional protein and heft.
After 14 years overseeing the award-winning 3030 Ocean at Harbor Beach Marriott Resort and Spa, chef Dean James Max is moving on.
Revenge, patient people tell us, is a dish best served cold. I feel the same way about soup, at least at this time of year. When it gets hot, there are few things that will whet a flagging appetite like a sip of cold soup.
