FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD

The amounts listed are only a guideline since I don't even bother measuring please feel free to adjust all ingredients to suit taste but please try not to omit anything all the ingredients blend together perfectly! You could use all mayonnaise but I prefer half mayonnaise and yogurt or sour cream for a lighter texture, if you are making this in advance then add in the diced apple just before serving. If you are a curry-lover then try adding in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder into the mayo mixture, I think you will be quite surprised at the taste! This is one of the best recipes for chicken salad!... For a luncheon, double or triple the complete recipe and serve this on a bed of lettuce with tomato wedges around the chicken salad then sprinkle more toasted almonds on and around the chicken salad... your guests will rave!

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: For convenience, prepare the dressing, chicken, and fruit ahead of time. This will make assembling the salad a breeze when you're ready to serve.
  • Choose ripe fruit: The fresher and riper the fruit, the better the salad will taste. Look for fruit that is brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of textures: Incorporate a mix of soft and crunchy fruits, such as grapes, berries, apples, and nuts, for a more interesting salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more as needed, to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
