The DH
On a whopping hot (88 degrees) afternoon (Memorial Day), after hours of dragging our already-tired bodies through the Manhattan heat on a fruitless ‘going to see Navy ships’ hunt (they were blocked off by an hours-long line of people waiting to board), we settled on Japanese BBQ for lunch. Mostly because we were walking past, beef always makes the day brighter, and hey, Japanese BBQ still counts as Memorial Day BBQ.
These pics were taken while waiting for a seat … and my DH (darling or dearest -take your pick- husband) still looks ridiculous/studly/adorable.

No Bread Chicken Salad
This quick and tasty lunch whips up quickly (with leftovers) and is flavorful enough that you won’t miss the bread. Serve for lunch, dinner, or at a party.
No Bread Chicken Salad
1/2 c. beluga lentils, cooked (or any other sturdy lentil that doesn’t turn to mush)
1/2 c. cooked chicken (I used shredded leftover baked chicken)
1/2 apple, chopped (use your favorite kind – mine is Fuji or Gala)
1/2 rib celery, diced
1 small carrot, diced
2 Tbsp. mayo (I use the olive oil type)
1 tsp. capers
1 Tbsp. Horseradish Relish (see recipe below)
Handful hazelnut gremolata
Salt & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Salt & pepper to taste. Serve chilled or room temperature alone or with an accompaniment.
Horseradish Relish
2 Tbsp. beet horseradish
1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 Golden Delicious apple, peeled and grated
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
Salt & pepper to taste
Stir all ingredients together. Salt and pepper to taste. Goes great with steak, chicken, or fish. Since making it as a steak condiment, I have been tossing a Tablespoon or so in here and there almost everywhere. This relish has a great bright, tangy heat that brings a lot of kick to any party.
