Chicken Salad
Last night I rummaged through some passover leftovers and I made the best chicken salad EVER! I figured I'd share the recipe with you. I can't give you measurement or anything. All I can say is that it was done till "it looked right"
First i sliced 4 cloves of garlic and toasted them with a handful of pine nuts. Its very easy to over-toast them to burn so watch carefully and keep them moving in the pan.
Next I took all of our leftover chicken - both that BBQ grilled stuff I made and whatever chicken parts were left in the chicken soup. I chopped them up and put them in a bowl. Probably about 3 cups worth. To this I added the pine nuts and garlic.
I chopped 4 stalks of celery and an apple and added that. I added a teaspoon each of of onion mix, sweet curry, and black pepper. I added 3 tablespoons of mayo. Mixed well. Then I added a handful of raisins. Mixed again. And finally I added a squirt of lime juice.
Yummy. Nom Nom.
After dinner Kate and I took Gryphon for a walk. We went to visit Regina at Ben & Jerrys for free cone day. Sadly we got there an hour after they stopped giving out free clones. They were closing for the night. So we headed to Cold Stone instead. Surprise surprise - Regina, Dante, AJ and Janice were all there for the same reason. So we too partook of the delicious then went back home for Law and Order and some sleep.
