NOTES : Chicken salad is not just an American favorite. This enlivened variation features a fragrant mix of spices based on a traditional Tunisia= n blend. (For convenience's sake, we call for ground spices, but you can als= o use whole spices that you've roasted and ground yourself.) This salad is equally delicious chilled or served immediately. If you prefer, serve it o= n lettuce-lined plates for an even more colorful presentation.
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 cup).
