Chicken and Orange Salad

March 6, 2012 By Delia

Chicken and orange salad is a textured salad recipe which makes use of fruits and nuts. It has a citrusy taste and a bit of sharp flavor from the onions. If red onions are too strong, you may use white onions instead.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 oranges

400g cooked chicken, thinly sliced

310g can corn kernels, drained

200g mixed salad leaves

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup low-fat natural or unflavored yoghurt

2 teaspoons mango chutney

2 teaspoons mild curry paste

1/3 almonds, coarsely chopped

 

Slice off the base of each orange. With a sharp knife, remove the skin and the white membranes. Hold the orange over a bowl while peeling in order to catch any juice. Cut the orange along the membranes in order to get the segments easily. Reserve the juice.

Place the chicken, corn, salad, onions and orange segments in a large salad bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the chutney, yogurt, curry paste and orange juice. Mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad. Gently toss to combine. Sprinkle the pistachios over it and serve immediately.

Refrigerate it if you decide to prepare it ahead of time. Add the almonds just before serving.

Fruity Chicken Salad Sandwich

January 25, 2011 By Delia

Fruity chicken salad sandwich filling is a quick and easy recipe. You can eat it with bread or have it with crackers just like a canapé.

It is also a good idea to prepare the chicken salad ahead of time and store it in the fridge. It will probably last a week or so. Although in this case, do not add the fruits right away. Mix them in before serving because they may wilt or ruin the spread.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

3 cups chicken breast, cooked & diced

1/2 cup celery

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup seedless grapes, cut in half or dried cherries

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon of sweet yellow onion, finely diced

8 pieces whole wheat bread

Romaine lettuce

In a bowl, combine the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grapes, lemon juice and onions. Mix well and season it with salt and pepper.  Cover it and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Heat the bread; spread 1/2 a cup of chicken salad onto it. Top with lettuce and another slice of bread. Cut it in half diagonally if desired.

Serve with fries or chips.
