About chicken salad
Due to an egg allergy, I have always avoided anything made with mayonaise, which included tuna salad, chicken salad, potato salad, etc, etc. But I recently saw a recipe for chicken salad that was made with poppy seed dressing, had apples, dried cherries (or cranberries), celery and toasted pecans. I thought that sounded too good to pass up, so I made the recipe and then added a few touches of my own. I added a wee bit of garam masala and cumin, then chopped up some water chestnuts for extra crunch and minced a few green onion tops. It was a grand experiment and I loved it served on mixed greens. I took it to an office potluck luncheon with a plate of sliced mini croissants, and co-workers raved about it. Thought it might give someone else new ideas for variations on standard recipes.
