Number Of Ingredients 8

3 c cooked chicken
1 1/2 c grapes, red or green
1 1/2 c chopped celery
1 can(s) pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
salad dressing (miracle whip) to coat

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all together and chill.
  • 2. Serve on a lettuce leaf or scooped out pineapple.
  • 3. I have added chopped pecans to this since I moved to Alabama and we have our own pecan trees. I like to toast the pecans in a little butter first.
  • 4. To use this as a sandwich filling, pulse the meat in the food processor until fine. Then add the other ingredients and do the same.
