This basic chicken salad is a family favorite. I like to use baked thighs or breasts that have been sprinkled with basil or rosemary.

A great salad for the warm weather months. Works beautifully for luncheon buffets, too. The combination of flavors and textures is perfect.

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces uncooked pasta (I like bowties)
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, cubed
2/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups cooked peas
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits
1/4 cup slivered almonds (toasted or not)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta, al dente, drain and rinse with cold water; drain well.
  • Blend mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Drain pineapple, saving juice.

  • Chill well.
