HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SALAD



Hawaiian Chicken Salad image

A giant salad loaded with the tropical flavours of Hawaii! This recipe is based on the marinade for these Hawaiian Chicken Skewers I shared a few weeks ago - see note 1 for how to REUSE the marinade for this recipe. This recipe also uses leftover Coconut Lime Cilantro/Coriander Rice that I shared as a side for the skewers.

EASY HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SALAD



Easy Hawaiian Chicken Salad image

I got this recipe from a woman that used to live in Hawaii and it is absolutely amazing! I use miracle whip for the recipe but it originally called for mayonnaise, which i don't care for so either can be used according to your preference. It is very good grilled on jalapeno cheese bread with havarti cheese.
