NOTES : Chicken salad is not just an American favorite. This enlivened
variation features a fragrant mix of spices based on a traditional Tunisia=
n blend. (For convenience's sake, we call for ground spices, but you can
als= o use whole spices that you've roasted and ground yourself.) This
salad is equally delicious chilled or served immediately. If you prefer,
serve it o= n lettuce-lined plates for an even more colorful presentation.
