It’s essential to fill our plates with tons of taste and loads of coloration as we work again to our regular consuming habits. To prime the pump, we first posted Walnut Crusted Hen with Colourful Slaw and later, my recipe for Mediterranean Whitefish.

At this time, I’m past excited to let you know a couple of recipe I created final week for Apples with Curried Hen Salad. Once I let you know I couldn’t keep out of this, it’s precisely what I imply. Fortunately this recipe is for 4 folks as a result of I stored going again repeatedly for only one extra chunk!
To chop carbs and energy in January, I’ve been skipping the bread every time doable. I used to be on the market and observed apples the scale of softballs and an thought began brewing. I used apples lower orbitally a number of years in the past to create Apple Crostini, one in all my favourite appetizer recipes, particularly for a big group, when it dawned on me, why not lower these apples a bit thicker and substitute the bread for an open-faced sandwich?

I had a rotisserie hen within the fridge so it didn’t take lengthy to whip up this pleasant hen salad and have dinner on the desk.
When utilizing apples lower this manner, you may go away the core intact and simply pull out any seeds or you need to use a small cookie cutter to chop the core out of every apple slice. In the event you do that, you want one thing as a basis on prime of the apple so the hen salad doesn’t fall by the center of every slice. You possibly can see from the photographs that I used lettuce leaves, they offer a pop of inexperienced which is all the time good!
Let me know what you suppose and please inform me your favourite go-to January recipes, within the feedback under.
