A great way to recycle leftover chicken into something new and wonderful. Turkey would work equally well in this creamy salad. Try this over mixed greens or on croissants for a wonderful lunch. From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh is best
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1/2 cup apple, finely diced
1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (use a good quality, such as hellmanns)
2 tablespoons cream (either sweet or sour)
Directions:
1. Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken and apple, mixing lightly.
2. Combine remaining ingredients, suing only enough mayonnaise to moisten well.
3. Add chicken/apple mixture and toss together lightly.
4. Serve very cold, dressed with mayonnaise.
