When Mark lived in Chicago, his favorite restaurant was a tapas place called Cafe Ba Ba Reeba, and his favorite dish there was the chicken & curry salad. Now, I don't know much about chicken salad. It was definitely not something we ate at my house growing up, and I've probably eaten it less than a dozen times as an adult. But I've liked the chicken salad that I have eaten, and I'm intrigued by the combination of flavors and textures. I've tried making curried chicken salad once in the past, and it turned out okay, but not great.
Because I'm the best girlfriend in the entire world (and because I felt like chicken salad had the kind of consistency that might not offend my very sensitive throat), I had the urge to give it another go with a recipe from Dave Lieberman, the man responsible for my very successful cauliflower soup last week. The recipe is pretty darned simple, and result was much better this time around, like a piñata full of yummy flavors and textures in your mouth - I'm starting to think that this Dave Lieberman character might deserve a place on my Food Network all-stars list (along with Tyler Florence and Giada De Laurentiis).
