Don’t shake the can of coconut milk before opening it—you’ll use the layer of cream on top in this sweet and spicy dressing, which is mellowed by the cooling iceberg lettuce and rich dark-meat chicken. Transfer the unused coconut milk to a clean jar and refrigerate it for making soup or a curry (it will hold for several days).
Instead of only iceberg lettuce, try wedging other nutritious salad greens, such as romaine and radicchio.
I first tasted this wonderfully fresh salad years ago in a Lebanese restaurant and then recreated my own version.
If the BLT ranks as one of the world's great sandwiches, imagine what the combination can do for a salad.
Betty Crocker was never a real person. "Born" in 1921, Betty Crocker was at first only a signature and a voice on a radio program created to answer consumer questions about Gold Medal flour.

Betty Crocker represented one twenties ideal, the perfect happy homemaker, while the flapper represented the decade's "other woman."
