One of my friends began selling Arbonne’s natural skin-care products and convinced me to join her at an Arbonne “party” (the company uses the same method as Tupperware to sell its products). While skin-care products made from avocados, citrus peels, papayas, almonds and tree roots are up my alley, the best part of the gathering was meeting Meira J. As soon as she heard my name, she said she had a great recipe for me! This is her favorite chicken salad ever, and now (in a tweaked version) I can share it with all of you. After I tried this salad with the chicken, I wanted a parve version too. So I put together the layered salmon salad—the same veggies, same dressing, just topped with salmon. Both versions are absolutely fantastic and have a gorgeous presentation.

  • 3 salmon fillets, skinned
