This isn't your typical chicken salad. The sweetness of the seedless grapes, the lightness of the whipping cream, the crunch of the nuts and the dried fruit make a perfect complement to this chicken salad. It's just like chicken salad you would expect to find at a fancy restaurant, but it's super easy to make. I like to eat this with crackers as much as I like eating it as a sandwich. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced and chilled |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half |
1/4 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup pecan halves or 1/4 cup slivered almonds |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.
2. Combine meat, celery, grapes, dried fruit and nuts (or Salad Pizazz), parsley, salt and mayonnaise with whipped cream. Chill.
3. Note: Instead of using the dried fruit and the nuts, I always use Salad Pizazz which is a gourmet salad topping that can be found in grocery stores and comes in a variety of flavors. For this salad I like to use the Cherry Cranberry Pecano, the Orange Cranberry Almondine or the Raspberry Cranberry Walnut Frisco.
