This is my version of a local tea room/ice cream shop that serves the best chicken salad I've ever had. What makes it so good is the contrast of sweet fruit, the crunchiness of the nuts and a hint of tangy lemon. Ingredients:
2 cups cooked cubed chicken |
2/3 cup celery, diced small |
1 medium red delicious apple, diced small |
1/4 cup purple onion, chopped fine |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2/3 cup mayonnaise (more if needed) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
1 tablespoon parsley |
paprika, for garnishing |
Directions:
1. In a medicum size bowl, combine the celery, apple, onion, pecans, salt, pepper, sugar, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
2. Add the chicken and parsley and toss gently.
3. Cover and chill. Sprinkle a small amount of paprika over salad and serve over a bed of lettuce leaves or as a filling for sandwiches.
