Shine from the Inside Out
Leave the phones and computer screens indoors and change up the scenery by eating dinner outside. Enjoy this distraction-free meal with friends, family, or even just yourself. Focus on savoring each bite of your meal. Chewing slowly helps you practice mindful eating, which can aid in digestion, promote satiety, and boost satisfaction with every lift of the fork.
Ingredient IQ
Small, deep red, and used both fresh and dried, barberries are native to Iran. Their pleasant tangy flavor, similar to that of tamarind, lends a sweet-tart brightness to a dish.

Make It Ahead
For richer flavor, prepare the chicken salad (Steps 1 and 2) up to one day ahead and refrigerate in a resealable container. When ready to serve, proceed with Step 3.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Rehydrate the barberries; heat the chicken

  • In a small bowl, cover the barberries with hot tap water and soak until plumped, 4 to 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside for the salad.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring once or twice, until the meat begins to crisp around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
While the chicken cooks and cools, start preparing the celery and onion.

2

Make the chicken salad

  • Chop the celery into ¼-inch pieces.
  • Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, barberries, celery, onion, and avocado mayo. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves.
  • Cut away the core from the tomato; cut the tomato crosswise into ¼-inch slices.
  • Coarsely chop the walnuts for garnish.

Serve

Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates. Top with the tomato, chicken salad, and walnuts and serve.
