Gourmet Chicken Salad
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced and chilled
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup pecan halves, chopped or 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.
- Combine meat, celery, grapes, dried fruit and nuts (or Salad Pizazz), parsley, salt and mayonnaise with whipped cream. Chill.
- Note: Instead of using the dried fruit and the nuts, I always use Salad Pizazz which is a gourmet salad topping that can be found in grocery stores and comes in a variety of flavors. For this salad I like to use the Cherry Cranberry Pecano, the Orange Cranberry Almondine or the Raspberry Cranberry Walnut Frisco.
