I found this recipe for a friend to take to a pot luck supper. She has just called to tell me that the chicken salad was a winner rated the tastiest dish there! Now to dazzle my friends as well!
Excellent chicken salad. I made a couple of changes/additions. I didn't use lettuce water chestnuts or lemon juice on the chicken. I did add green onions swiss cheese & red grapes. Salad is best when it sits overnight. Don't add the almonds until you are ready to serve it keeps them crunchy. Served on croissants.
Wonderful! I cut down on the fat by reducing the mayonnaise and almonds to 1/2 cup (1/2 cup of almonds was plenty!!). I also reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp. I didn't chill the chicken with lemon juice for 2 hours and it was just fine. I think using red grapes next time would add a bit more color. I served the chicken salad on whole wheat pita bread. Thanks so much for the recipe!
I like pineapple but adding pineapple to this chicken salad just made the dish too sweet for my taste. I've enjoyed the addition of green or red grapes or mandarin oranges or dried cranberries to various chicken salad recipes though. Of course if you like sweet salad you'll love this.
Love this salad... a great thing to make with leftover cooked chicken... will make again and again! Thanks!
I've used this recipe for years and it is always a favorite at any pot-luck I attend. This is my most requested recipe you'll enjoy it too!
This was very good. I made it as stated and found it needed a little kick; it was a bit bland. I added a bit of curry powder and that helped. Next time I'll add some tart dried cranberries as another reviewer mentioned. It needs some other seasoning besides the salt and white pepper but I'm not sure what. But I will make it again and recommend it.
I loved it and so did everyone I work with about 50 people. I added apples to this recipe and took out the salt and it was GREAT!
I served this at a ladies luncheon and eveyrone loved it. The only changes I made I left out the pineapple and added a touch of curry powder to the dressing.
