If I had to choose one thing that changed about my eating preferences after living in France, it’s my love of Dijon mustard. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always been a mustard girl – you’ll never catch me putting ketchup on my hot dog. But, after years of eating Dijon mustard, I’m officially converted, and I have been incorporating Dijon mustard into my cooking more and more.
This time I’ve used it to make a Dijon herb chicken salad for all you mayo-haters out there. It’s a light and flavorful change from my usual mayo-based chicken salad. It’s made with a slightly tangy, but not too tangy, Dijon herb vinaigrette, and the salad is loaded with bell pepper, celery, onion – and a surprising hint of cilantro.
You can serve the salad however you choose, but I’ve enjoyed it on thick multi-grain bread with a slice of tomato, in a tortilla wrap with fresh spinach leaves and even on a bed of lettuce. But, it’s great all on it’s own.
