I remember eating this at her house, she changed the recipe over the years adding extra items. Read more . I've added them as I remember the salad. Nice for bridal and baby showers (great for take along lunches and picnics too) . Ingredients:
1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat torn in chunks, about 2 1/2 cups in all. (grandma would poach a chicken for her salads, i'm just going to buy one to save time) |
1 cup diced celery |
1 tsp of salt |
3/4 tsp of pepper |
3 tbsp of chopped candied ginger |
1 1/2 tsp of honey |
1 cup of commercial sour cream |
i love how old recipes call for commercial sour cream, as if we are expected to know how to make our own sour cream these days. |
garnishes, ripe bananas, sliced canned pineapple, chopped cashews, bed of tender lettuce |
Directions:
1. Combine chicken, celery, salt and pepper in a bowl. Chill fo two hours. Just before serving combine ginger, honey and sour cream. Stir half the dresssing into the chicken mixture.
2. Serve in a scoop on lettuce leaves,
3. Arrange sliced bananas around the scoop, top with a pineapple slice, sprinkle very generously with chopped toasted cashews.
4. Drizzle with remaining dressing as desired.
