2. Cooking Directions
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook the breasts until browned and just done, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool. Cut into 1/2-inch chunks.
- In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice, and the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, chicken, carrots, cucumbers, celery, peas, onion, olives, parsley, and basil and toss.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Traditionally, Persian salads are decked with a variety of fresh herbs, such as mint, basil, and parsley. You may want to add some sprigs to garnish this version; the leaves can be eaten right along with the salad. Hot pita is an ideal accompaniment.

Yummy! Can
Alice - February 18, 2008 04:15:55 PM PSTjust by reading the ingredient sounds deliciouse. But the only thing is i'm kinda mad because I can't try it. Due to the fact that its sucks because It's hard to find all the ingredients here where i'm from. And not all of them ingredients are complete here on my island. Gosh! I need to the United States for sure so I can completely have all my ingredients pack in my house when i move there.
