A great salad for the warm weather months. Works beautifully for luncheon buffets, too. The combination of flavors and textures is perfect.

Time 50m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces uncooked pasta (I like bowties)
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cubed
2/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups cooked peas
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits
1/4 cup slivered almonds (toasted or not)
1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimientos
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta, al dente, drain and rinse with cold water; drain well.
  • Blend mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Drain pineapple, saving juice.
  • Gently stir all ingredients together, adding as much of the reserved pineapple juice as needed to moisten.
  • Save any extra pineapple juice in case you need to add more after salad has chilled and absorbed some of the dressing.
  • Chill well.

This chicken salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

This chicken salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.
