Best Elizabeths Salad Recipes
SALAD ELIZABETH
DD was charmed to find a dish that shares her name. It seems I've made gallons of this dressing. It is nice on lettuce and lovely over fruit. It's from the 5 in 10 Cookbook by Paula Hamilton.

THE CLASSIC 1953 CORONATION CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE
This is my adaptation of the much loved and famous recipe created by Constance Spry for the Queen's Coronation lunch in 1953. I make this regularly for picnics and buffets; it is also amazing as a sandwich filler. In 1953, curry powder would have been used - but I find that curry paste works better. Use any type of poached or cooked chicken - I usually cook a couple of chicken breasts just for this recipe, however, a whole cooked chicken works very well; don't forget to remove the skin and check for bones first. This recipe is based on the Coronation Chicken recipe in: The Constance Spry Cookery Book by Constance Spry & Rosemary Hulme (1956).
