A Twist on an old favorite<\/h2>\n

Hello from Montana.\u00a0 Our weather has been beautiful lately, with the warmth of the sun and gentle breezes.\u00a0 This is the time of year when you are thankful for your garden, for the effort and foresight you put into it in the form of grunting and sweating.\u00a0 But now? Now, you taste victory over that drought, those weeds, and that deer that got into the garden a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Chef Nancy<\/a> taught me the importance of re-working leftovers<\/a> into something even better as the days move forward, and I did that with this twist on everybody’s basic recipe for chicken salad.\u00a0 The inspiration came in the form of picking the day\u2019s harvest.\u00a0 Highlight the best of your harvest, and do not feel the need to stick to this recipe exactly.<\/p>\n

The white beets stole the show.\u00a0 They are much milder than their bolder cousins\u2014and less messy.\u00a0 Having boiled them for dinner the night before with a taste of honey, they provided a slight crunch to the salad that almost fooled you into thinking there were water chestnuts in there.<\/p>\n

The honey was the perfect compliment. \u00a0If you are using white beets that were not sweetened with liquid gold, let me suggest adding a tablespoon to the final recipe.<\/p>\n
