Nice twist on chicken salad however if I were going to go so far as to call it "gourmet" I wouldn't used canned chicken... I opted to use some leftover citrus grilled chicken I had on hand. I also used some red grapes for a little color. I didn't have cucumber salad dressing so I used Hellman's light mayo cut with a bit of sour cream and added a bit of salt pepper and just a bit of curry powder. Overall very good on toasted whole grain bread.
Although I did make changes to this recipie I'm still giving it 5 stars. I used left over boneless baked chicken breast instead of the canned chicken. I searched and couldn't find cucumber dressing in any of our markets so I substituted light mayo. Also I think the green grapes would be tasty but I used seedless red ones as I had them in the house. The red grapes orange mandarin oranges green celery and brown nuts gave it a nice presentation.
This is a good recipe. Try grilled chicken for a little different taste also. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed this simple salad on pita bread. I used a cucumber ranch light-done-right dressing and it was wonderful.
I didn't care for this chicken salad. I took one bite with the oranges and immediately removed them. They were just too over-powering for this salad. After that it still was not that good. The flavor just wasn't there.
This is a great recipe to prepare ahead of time. It is also great to take for lunch or just eat as a snack.
This is excellent. I used red grapes in addition to the green. I couldn't locate the creamy cucumber dressing at my local (and often inadequate) grocery but used cucmber ranch instead. I forgot to add the mandarin oranges and it was still great. I served it at a luncheon on lettuce leaves and ate the extra in grainy bread sandwiches. Yum! I will make this again!
This is great I've made it several times and I e-mailed it to my mom and she loves it too! I'm looking for a way to make low calorie creamy cucumber salad dressing so I can make it low calorie as well. It's definitely the best chicken salad I've ever tasted.
I LOVE this recipe and my best friend asks me to make it everytime they have a BBQ. So easy to whip together and is awesome on crackers bread ANYTHING!
I havent tried this yet but I just wanted to let you know that there is a creamy cucumber salad dressing recipe on this site just in case you cant find any or cant find or don't care for the kraft cucumber ranch or maybe use a greek yogurt/cucumber sauce instead:)I plan on making this recipe sometime soon.
