Mix It Up Monday

I'm once again joining Mix it up Monday on Flour Me With Love. First, I want to share a lesson I learned with you. Do not substitute Half and Half for Heavy Cream when making cheesecake. The result, although still edible, is not pretty.

Chicken Salad

This was my month to bring snacks for our Discipleship Division meeting at work. My co-worker Mary brought a carrot cake and cheese and crackers, so I wanted to bring something substantial but somewhat healthy, so I brought chicken salad on a bed of fruit.

Fruity Chicken Salad

 (from Cooks.Com)

3 1/2 cups cooked and chilled chicken breasts (I used almost two pounds of boneless breasts, cooked in water with 2 chicken bouillon cubes)

1 cup chopped celery (about 3 stalks)

1/3 cup almonds, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp curry powder

a few dashes of soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp dill weed

Cook the chicken until tender.  Cool and cut into chunks. Add all ingredients and mix well.  Refrigerate to blend flavors.

Just before serving I added about 1/2 cup of sliced grapes. I've also added chopped apple. This is also a nice salad to serve at a luncheon served with slices of melon.
