Chicken salad

Spread the love

Ingredients for 10 servings:

  • 1 chicken, cooked
  • 300 g cooked ham (sliced)
  • 2 apples, slightly sour
  • 1 small jar of celery
  • 1 small jar of cucumber(s) (pickles)
  • 1 can of pineapple
  • 1 lemon(s)
  • 1 jar of remoulade

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 30 minutes

Bone out the roast chicken and chop it into small pieces. Dice the cooked ham, peel, core, and dice the apples, and add both to the chicken. Squeeze the lemon and drizzle half of the juice over the salad. Drain the juice from the celery and pineapple, then chop it with the pickles and mix it into the salad. Add the remoulade, season with the remaining lemon juice, and a generous dash each of pineapple juice and cucumber vinegar. Caution: The salad needs time to marinate, so let it sit a bit bland at first, then stir it thoroughly after about an hour and season with pineapple juice, cucumber vinegar, and/or lemon juice if desired. Please stay away from salt and pepper, because everyone who got this recipe from my mom seasoned it with salt and pepper the first time and complained that it didn’t taste good.
