This one is an old favorite I made up accidentally one day. It's become something of a favorite. I told
arie about it on Thanksgiving day when we were talking on the phone back & forth and she demanded I write it down. I only just remembered that I had not done it yet, so here it is:
Autumn Chicken SaladAll-white meat chicken salad with tart apples, dried cranberries & pecans, flavored with Autumn spices. Very unusual, but VERY good! I line pita breads with leaf lettuce and Swiss cheese, then stuff them with this - it's one of my favorite variations on plain old boring chicken salad.
- 3 cups cooked, chopped chicken breast
- 1 Granny Smith apple; cored and diced (peeling is optional - I leave it on for extra color and texture)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1-2 tsp ground cinnammon
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger (fresh grated is better)
- In a large bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream or yogurt, salt, pepper, and spices - mix well.
- Add the chicken, cranberries, apples & pecans and toss together to evenly blend the dressing into the salad.
But, this sounds so simple and good, I'm going to mark it down in my LJ "Memories".
Thank you.
P.S.: Do you have a recipé for an 'Angry Biscuit'?
