- Serves 4
From Grandma Roberts handwritten recipes, circa 1962, she credits Good Housekeeping in tiny tiny letters across the top. I remember eating this at her house, she changed the recipe over the years adding extra items. Read more I've added them as I remember the salad. Nice for bridal and baby showers (great for take along lunches and picnics too) See less
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat torn in chunks, about 2 1/2 cups in all. (Grandma would poach a chicken for her salads, I'm just going to buy one to save time) shopping list
- 1 cup diced celery shopping list
- 1 tsp of salt shopping list
- 3/4 tsp of pepper shopping list
- 3 tbsp of chopped candied ginger shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp of honey shopping list
- 1 cup of commercial sour cream shopping list
- I love how old recipes call for commercial sour cream, as if we are expected to know how to make our own sour cream these days. shopping list
- Garnishes, ripe bananas, sliced canned pineapple, chopped cashews, bed of tender lettuce shopping list
How to make it
- Combine chicken, celery, salt and pepper in a bowl. Chill fo two hours. Just before serving combine ginger, honey and sour cream. Stir half the dresssing into the chicken mixture.
- Serve in a scoop on lettuce leaves,
- Arrange sliced bananas around the scoop, top with a pineapple slice, sprinkle very generously with chopped toasted cashews.
