The most amazing chicken salad I ever tasted was made by my aunt Josie when I was about 10 years old. Her husband did not like chicken any way you could make it so she had to cover up the taste. She tried all different ingredients to mask the taste but it was still there. Finally one night while Paula , her daughter and I were doing our homework, my aunt came up with a great recipe and I still use it today. When she had finished, she fixed my uncle a plate, serving the salad on a bed of lettuce with a slice of tomato and some chips. When he had finished, she asked him,"how was your salad?" He replied that it tasted a little to much like chicken to suit him. My cousin and I just about died laughing because it was suppose to taste like chicken. I think they were the Edith and Archie Bunker in my family excluding the fact that they lived in the South and had a little bit more flavor to there vocabulary. So just try this one on for size.
1 5 to 6 lb. roasted or baked chicken (de-boned) chopped
l large Granny Smith apple chopped
1 large Red Delicious apple chopped
1 medium red onion chopped
1 small can crushed pineapple drained
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 cup white grapes cut in 1/3's
1 cup purple grapes cut in 1/3's
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp red pepper
2 tsp mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise or enough to mix well.
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
Mix all ingredients and serve on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes and crackers.
I first published this recipe on my blog whoknowsaboutrhonda but I decided to move it to this blog with all my diabetic recipes.
