Chicken And Grape Salad
- DUKKAH (MAKES 1 CUP)
- 1/2 cup skinned or unskinned hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup white sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- SALAD
- 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup dukkah
- 3 1/2 cups diced skinned cooked chicken
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
- Butter lettuce
- Make dukkah: In a large, heavy frying pan, toast hazelnuts over medium-low heat, stirring often, until browned and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a bowl and set aside. Toast sesame seeds in pan, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour into another bowl and set aside. Toast cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in pan until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to sesame seeds and let cool completely.
- Pulse hazelnuts a few times in a food processor to chop coarsely. Add sesame mixture and salt and pulse until coriander seeds are broken up and dukkah is crumbly.
- Make salad dressing: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup dukkah.
- Add chicken, grapes, onion, parsley, and celery to dressing. Fold together gently but thoroughly with a rubber scraper. Serve on butter-lettuce leaves.
- Make ahead: Dukkah, up to 1 month, chilled airtight.
