Sounds good!


Hello....
I really like the idea of whipping the cream and folding it into the Mayo....
Thanks for sharing!
.....mjcmcook.....


Dear Zena,Is the cream a texture agent in this recipe??? Making it light and fluffy???


This sounds fantastic!


I have a simular recipe, it's a hit around here, the only difference is I use Cool Whip instead of the heavy cream, I think I might like the heavy cream better!!


Can't wait to make this....Thanks GF...:)


Nothing beats a great chicken salad. This sounds great!


This technique reminds me of a technique I learned in baking class (cul school) where we folded fresh whipped cream inside a bavarian cream before filling our pate a choux ....I bet this is more airy than mayo-like


Tasty simply delicous thanks.


I love chicken salads. I'm going to have to add this to my collection. The whipping cream is a great idea!


I have to have this! It is good for me GF.. right?


Even though I love my mom's chicken salad recipe, I like to try new ones - love the idea of the whipping cream and mayo dressing in this one (and the cayenne for a bit of a kick)...yep, that would make a delicious dressing for chicken salad!!


Great recipe thanks bunches


Mmm... try chopped walnuts YUM!


The combination of the whipping cream and mayo really made this very special. It was extremely popular with the family and has been asked for again already!

I fix something like this only I use lite whipped topping mixed with the mayo. This helps on calorie count if your counting.


We omitted the grapes and replaced the almonds with chopped walnuts. For the seasonings (cayenne, salt and pepper) we used a dash of Tony Cachere's Creole Seasoning.
