CHICKEN AND PEA SALAD
This is a great salad to eat on hot days of summer. It came about because I needed something for a picnic but I didn't want to bring two different salads. We love chicken salad and we love pea salad so I thought why not put them together. It is nice alone or served on top of fresh salad greens. I have also done a veggie...

Steps:
- 1. Cook bacon crisp. Drain off grease and crumble.
- 2. De-bone and chop up the chicken. Put chicken in large bowl. You will want on big enough to stir without spilling.
- 3. Put all the ingredients all together in a bowl and stir. Best if left to set in fridge for a couple hours so that the flavors combine. But you don't have to.

Steps:
- Bring the wild rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 20 to 45 minutes depending on the variety of wild rice. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Scrape into a mixing bowl, and refrigerate until cold.
- Whisk the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, garlic, dried tarragon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the safflower oil into the dressing in a thin, steady stream while whisking vigorously until the oil has been fully incorporated into the dressing; set aside. Stir the chicken, celery, parsley, and green onion into the cooled wild rice. Stir in the dressing until evenly blended. Cover the rice mixture, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
- Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas, and cook uncovered until just tender, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the peas are cold, drain and cut into 1-inch diagonal pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the peas and toasted almonds into the rice mixture just before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your salad taste its best. Look for chicken that is free of antibiotics and hormones, and use fresh, crisp vegetables.
- Cook the chicken perfectly: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it. Grilled, roasted, or poached chicken are all good options for this salad.
- Use fresh peas: Fresh peas are sweeter and more flavorful than frozen or canned peas. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute.
- Make your own dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey is a great way to dress this salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is light and flavorful.
- Add some crunch: Toasted nuts, croutons, or crispy bacon are all great ways to add some crunch and texture to this salad.
Conclusion:
This chicken and pea salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also low in calories and fat. The flavors of the chicken, peas, and dressing all come together perfectly, and the salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
