This reimagined chicken salad is lighter and leafier than your standard picnic lunch. Tender poached chicken, crisp greens, cukes, and scallions get tossed with a sesame dressing that takes its cues form...
An oil-and-vinegar dressing keeps this slaw from feeling heavy and greasy, and the spiciness is a good counterpart to sweet notes in barbecue sauces and glazes.
Kurt Gutenbrunner, the New York City chef and author of Neue Cuisine: The Elegant Tastes of Vienna, gave us his recipe for perfectly crisp, golden veal cutlets.
This glaze will work on virtually any protein you can think of. Even tofu. Try it on shrimp, black bass or snapper fillets, chicken kebabs, or lamb chops.
