Chicken Caesar SaladEasy to prepare and simple ingredients make this a favorite salad for any day all year long. Create a delicious sandwich to eat with soup, or use it as the main attraction on a luncheon plate and call in the troops.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cooked chicken breasts (shredded or chopped)
  • 2/3 cup dark or golden raisins
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped small
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped red or purple onion
  • 1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained, save juice
Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 Tbsp. yellow ballpark mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/2 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise (or the best you can find)
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions:

Whisk all ingredients for dressing in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate.

Chop and mix all ingredients for salad in a large bowl. Pour dressing mixture over salad, and mix gently to distribute dressing into salad. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Make sandwiches using bread of choice and add lettuce of choice. I like fresh young spinach leaves best or tender leaves of fresh mustard greens. Add a pretty bunch of grapes to plate and serve with a cup of hot soup.

If serving as a salad, place rounded scoops of salad on lettuce or greens of choice. Add thick slices of red-ripe tomato, and a few cucumber slices on the side, with a sprig or two of parsley or fresh mint.

Serve with basket of mixed crackers or hard crusty rolls.

Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Source: This was my Mother's favorite chicken salad, and because it was the only food she ever used curry in, the curry was always kept in the refrigerator along with the paprika. I was fascinated with those spices as a child and always wanted her to use them more often. Deviled eggs got sprinkled with paprika so of course, I "liked" them whether I did or not. LOL

I love crisp cold crunchy chicken salad. I like it on a lettuce leaf, in a pita pocket with lettuce & tomato, or topped on a plate of salad. It is a wonderful cold summertime meal, though I do make it once in a while other times of year.

This reminds me of Bob Evans chicken salad. It's as close as I can get it at home, but just as good. My husband says he likes mine better! It's a great light summer supper.

For a nice change of pace, add some curry the next time you make chicken salad. Penzeys makes a mild curry, called sweet curry, which I enjoy.

This is a favorite of mine. Nice because it is good as a salad or in a sandwich. I prefer mine not in the sandwich but just plain.

Texture should be creamy but thick enough to scoop with Wheat Thins. You may need to add a little more mustard or mayo depending on the texture.

I don't have that one but I have another great one that is similar.

Fruited Chicken Salad

2 c. cooked chicken, diced
1/2 c. celery, diced fine

1/2 Miracle Whip
1/4 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. canned pineapple tidbits

Mix all together. If you like your salad a bit "wetter" then add more miracle whip.

As to the amount of each ingredient, use your own judgement. But here is the list of ingredients for Arby's chicken salad sandwich (my favorite fast food sandwich!)
Diced grilled chicken, apples, red grapes, celery, toasted pecans and mayo. Served on honey wheat bread with green leaf lettuce.

Years ago I used to make a chicken salad using cashews and I think a dry package of ranch dressing and it was stuffed in a tomato shell. It made a beautiful presentation especially if served on a black plate with green lettuce. Does anyone have this recipe or something similar?

I haven't seen that, but what about chicken salad with cashews or pecans and chopped seedless grapes? This could be put into large pasta shells or served with crackers or in a flaky croissant.

 
Answer this Question

A few years a go at my daughters baby shower, we served a chicken salad on mini croissants that was wonderful. My youngest daughter will be getting married soon and she is wanting to have the same food served at the reception. The problem is that I can not find the recipe anywhere.



All I can remember about it is we used boneless chicken breasts chopped, mandarin oranges, almond slivers and shallots. I do not remember if there are any additional ingredients or what the quantities are. I do know that it was a wonderful recipe and if anyone is lucky enough to have it I would appreciate your sharing!! I will continue to look for it as well and if I happen to find it I will post it.

i was looking to see if I might fill in the "&frac;" for the last recipe. Anytime a symbol is used for a fraction, our system doesn't translate it so it looks like that. They should be 1/4, 1/2 or other fractions.

I couldn't find the recipe that Ellen posted but did find a few more:

Here are a couple of really different recipes for Mandarin Chicken Salad:

salad.allrecipes.com/.../67689.asp

www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/.../mandarin-chicken-salad.htm

and some other Chicken Salad recipes:

www.better-chickenrecipes.com/chicken_salad_recipes.html

Hopefully Ellen comes back and notices that the ingredients have the funny "&frac;" so we an find out the actual fractions for the ingredients.

This delicious salad uses the balsamic vinegar mixture to marinate the chicken, as the dressing, and also as the finish for the caramelizing of your onion topping. Serve up this fancy, but easy to make, chicken salad soon.
