eglamkowski's Journal: recipe of the day

I'm not a big fan of chicken salad in general, but this Hawaiian Lanai Chicken Salad is very different. Grapes? Pineapple? In my chicken salad? Cool :-)

4 cups of cooked chicken, diced
1.5 cups of chopped celery
1/2 small onion, grated fine
1 cup of green grapes
13 oz. can of pineapple tidbits
1 cup of mayonnaise
salt & pepper to taste

Just combine everything, refrigerate for a while, then serve in halved coconut shells with watercress for garnish.

Add some nuts...

I've had chicken salad something like this, and it's really good if you add some toasted almonds (slivered or sliced) or even pecans. Walnuts, on the other hand, don't work as well.

Of course, I could just be nuts.
