Here's a fantastic make-ahead meal. For an even quicker version, use a rotisserie chicken from your supermarket; discard the skin before using the white meat.

Ingredients

Uncooked red potato(es)

1 pound(s), small, scrubbed

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)

2 pound(s)

Uncooked green snap beans

¾ pound(s)

Uncooked celery

2 stalk(s), medium, thinly sliced

Grapes

4 oz, green, seedless, halved (about 1 cup)

Fresh lemon juice

¼ cup(s)

Reduced-sodium chicken broth

¼ cup(s), fat-free

Dijon mustard

1 tbsp(s)

Fresh tarragon

3 tbsp(s), leaves, chopped

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ pinch, freshly ground

Olive oil

¼ pound(s)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, add the potatoes, and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon or strainer; set potatoes aside but maintain the water’s boil.
  2. Meanwhile, spray the broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray; preheat the broiler. Broil the chicken breasts 5 inches from the heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside
  3. Add the green beans to the boiling water; blanch until crisp-tender (no more than 2 minutes), then drain in a colander set in the sink.
  4. When chicken has cooled, slice it into bite-size chunks. Slice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks, cut the beans into 1-inch strips, and gently toss with the chicken. Add the celery and grapes.
  5. Whisk the lemon juice, broth, and mustard in a small bowl; whisk in the tarragon, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking all the while, until the dressing turns creamy, about 1 minute. Toss the salad with this dressing, taking care not to break up the potatoes. If desired, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  6. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
