Best Kiwicats Gourmet Salad With Chicken Recipes

GOURMET CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 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.

• When cold, remove the rest of the leaves and all "hair" on the bottoms. Put aside.
• Boil the beans in salted water until crisp and put in cold water.
• Cut off the lower part of the asparagus, saving only the top three inches. Cook the asparagus in salted water until crisp and put in cold water.
