Special Chicken Salad from Ell




Source of Recipe


Ell~(ell.1)


Recipe Introduction


The dressing for this salad is really special. If there are children dining, leave out the rum. It really makes a beautiful showing. The amounts you use depends on how many guests you have. I have served it on a large platter and on a dinner plate. You can serve it with toothpicks (the pieces are big enough) or with plates.


List of Ingredients




SPECIAL CHICKEN SALAD

Dressing:

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup orange (or pineapple) juice
1 TBSP rum

You make as much dressing as you will need.


Recipe



For the chicken: Poach boneless, skinless chicken breasts till just done. Cut in 1" dice or bite sized pieces. Combine chicken, celery cut in 1/2" pieces and pineapple chunks with dressing. Add whole almonds.

You can line the platter with butter lettuce or just edge it. For a border, score a cucumber with a fork and slice it in 1/2" slices then cut them in half. Score radishes in V’s with a paring knife and separate into 2 pieces. Alternate around the edge of plate. Make enough dressing for all vegetables. Coat the chicken salad and serve the rest on the side.
