No mayo...no problem. Fresh Apple Chicken Salad 1 fresh Granny Smith apple per person left over chicken (you can use canned chicken too) celery, finely chopped carrot, shredded bacon, 1 tbsp per serving (either crumbled or use the prepared bacon in the market) fresh baby spinach (or any other green, including lettuce) chopped pecans, walnuts or slivered almonds (optional) sour cream whipped topping salt pepper cinnamon, 1/ 2 tsp Cut the core out of the apple, set aside. Combine chicken, celery, carrot, bacon in a bowl and mix it well. Add in sour cream and whipped topping, mix thoroughly so all ingredients are coated. ( its two to one on the sour cream/ whipped topping...if you put in two tablespoons of sour cream, put on of cool whip...) Now, from the apple core, remove any of the apple meat that you can, and chop it finely. Add it to the chicken mixture, along with nuts if you choose to use them.. Add salt and pepper to taste, and cinnamon. To serve it, finely sliced the cored apple, and lay 2/ 3 of it on the plate on a bed of baby spinach, spoon on chicken salad then top with remaining apple. Its a crunchy, cold, delicious summer time recipe.

Chicken & Pasta Salad Boil the macaroni elbows, or whatever shape you prefer, until soft. Rinse with cold water to prevent stickiness, & then let drain well. Use deboned cooked chicken breast & thigh meat cubed. Dice celery, green onions, sweet peppers (any colour), for crunch. Add green peas, grated carrot, broccoli florets, sliced asparagus, etc. Quantities are not critical, use whatever you like, mix with mayo or any other salad dressing; you can add a little mustard for some bite.

Cut up the cooked chicken (I even like leftover fried chicken for a crunchy salad) add: chopped pickles (I use bread/ butter or your favorite) also pour in a small amt. of the juice. a couple of boiled eggs, mashed with fork or masher Add: just enough sour cream to moisten and stir altogether. I like to add a couple of Tbs. of sugar to bring out the flavor. (I do that for potato salad too)
