Coriandered Chicken Salad with Mustard Sauce

This refreshing cold platter with its zesty combination of chicken and mustard is part-Chinese, part-French, part-California, and pure delicious. It is a real appetite-arouser, a favorite among my Chinese friends. With its clean taste and good looks it makes a lovely centerpiece for a buffet, a colorful start for a sit-down dinner, or a light and portable one-dish lunch.

• This is a practical, economical choice for entertaining. The chicken may be prepared a day
