If you can get your hands on Thai basil, it’s particularly good in this salad, but if you can’t, a mix of tarragon and basil offers a similar flavor. (Recipe courtesy of AlexandraCooks.com) Ingredients 1 small chicken (about 3 lbs. if you can find one) 1 large red onion 2 to 4 tablespoons white balsamic (or other) vinegar kosher salt 3 to 4 scallions a ton of herbs: basil, tarragon, cilantro, Thai basil, mint ¼ cup Cokinos Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus 1 or 2 more tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper crushed red pepper flakes or a mince hot chili (optional) Preparation Place chicken in a large pot. Cover with cold water. Partially cover, bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat. Let chicken cool completely in liquid. This takes a few hours. (Alternatively, simmer chicken until it’s done.) When ready to make the salad, thinly slice the onion and place in a bowl. Cover with two tablespoons of vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside. Meanwhile pull chicken from bones and place in a large mixing bowl. Slice the scallions somewhat thinly (or not) and add to the bowl. Give the herbs a rough chop and add to the bowl. Add the macerated red onions and the ¼ cup of olive oil. Season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Add pepper flakes or chili to taste. Use your hands to toss everything together. Take a taste. If necessary add another tablespoon of vinegar and olive oil. Add more salt if necessary. Toss again and taste until seasoning is right. Serve.
