Ever get up to go to the necessary and detour into the kitchen to make something instead of getting back to work?

I had already seasoned and steam poached a pound of naked chicken breasts. Everything else was cooked leftover or raw and an easy chop.

Gory Chicken Salad

Cooked chicken, torn

Cooked beets, cut small, maybe four whole (cooked with beef and onions), not too sweet

3 little cooked yellow-ish potatoes, cut small (cooked with the beets but remarkably not red)

A couple of overcooked large pearl onions which were cooked with the beef, beets and potatoes

2 inner stalks (narrow) celery, sliced small

2 scallions, sliced

2-3 dozen pistachios (the end of the container)

Dressing

about 1/4 c beefy beet goo from the bottom of the container

3-4 TBSP Ojai Cook mayonnaise

Fine ground black pepper (from a jar--my pepper mill cuts too fine)

Onion Salt

Mushroom Salt (TJ's)

Frontier coop Garlic and Herb Seasoning

Maybe some other spice (I forget)

We'll see what happens when it melds, but it tasted great from the mixing bowl, and oh, so ooky!
