I had this for lunch in a little German restaurant. I loved it and decided to make my own. Perfect for a hot summer's day.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c cooked chicken, sliced or cubed
1 can(s) pineapple tidbits, 8 oz. (chunks)
1/2 c red seedless grapes, halved
1 large egg, hard boiled, separated yolk/egg white
1/4 c celery, minced fine
1/4 c onion, minced fine
1/4 c pecans, for topping
FOR THE DRESSING
1 egg yolk, hard boiled (see above)
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
1/4 tsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Shred the chicken. Drain the pineapple, (save the juice to make some Pineapple Lemonade). Slice the grapes. Place in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Halve the hard boiled egg and separate the yolk into a small bowl. Chop the egg white into small pieces and add to the chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
  • 3. For the dressing: Mash the egg yolk in a small bowl. Add the dijon mustard and the mayo. Add the lemon Juice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Stir to coat. Chill one hour before serving. Place a lettuce leaf on a plate. Put a scoop of chicken salad in the middle of the lettuce leaf. Top with pecan pieces. Enjoy!
  • 5. Notes: I like red grapes, but green ones will work as well. This is wonderful for a light lunch.
