This dish is an homage to the iconic D.C. Chicken salad served in our nation’s capital. A decidedly L.A. take on the traditional recipe, this dish serves the roasted chicken over a bed of organic greens and herbs tossed with walnuts, gala apple, and fresh herbs and raisins, rather than between two slices of toasted French bread.

An homage to Iran's light, spring salads, this dish is what I crave after the heavy foods of winter. Bright, “herb-centric,” and versatile, this salad hits all the right flavor notes with its unusual combination of tender greens, creamy feta, marinated green olives, raisins, walnuts, spicy radishes, savory onions, and fresh herbs (mint, tarragon, parsley, dill and chives).
