Chicken and Pineapple Salad
Published in Family Favourites, Salad Meals
Refrigerate for about an hour before serving (not absolutely necessary, but it does help to blend the flavours). This I serve with any simple rice salad recipe, look at the one made especially for the Chicken Salad Indienne.
Ingredients:
- 1 roasted/bought barbequed chicken
- 1 medium pineapple
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 4 spring onions, sliced
Ingredients: Dressing:
- 1 tsp curry powder
- ¼ tsp 5 – spice powder
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup coconut milk
Preparation:
- Toast coconut until golden – either in medium oven for about 5 minutes, or on a dry frying pan, stirring constantly.
- Peel pineapple, and cut the flesh into bite-sized chunks.
- Pull the skin off the chicken, then strip off all the flesh from the bones, and cut it-tnto bite-sized pieces.
- Combine in a bowl with the coconut and spring onions.
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients, then pour over the salad. Stir gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Notes:
- Use dessicated coconut, though, I think, the original recipe meant fresh shredded coconut to be used.
Serves 4 – 5.
