Author emphasizes right upfront the benefits of choosing quality chicken. There are wild sources and farmers near you. Grocery store chicken is a crapshoot because you don't know what was injected into the chicken while it was alive much less after it was slaughtered and packaged.It can be a healthier alternative to red meats. Chicken salad is a great way to avoid wasting leftovers. It's also fast and easy to prepare which is important to the busy women I work with.The Black Lemon Chicken Salad sounds delectable. I love cayenne pepper, lemon juice and the other ingredients called for in this recipe. The only substitution I'd make is instead of the regular vegetable oil I'd use peanut oil. Regular vegetable oil often comes from genetically modified safflower or corn so I don't trust it. If you're not concerned about Genetically modified foods then go with the cheap oil.Also, some recipes call for canned chicken. The problems with canned foods are well-documented. I recommend substituting fresh chicken for any recipe that calls for canned.
