It hasn’t been really fashionable in a long time. We really do make chicken salad an injustice if we just demonize it as an unhealthy calorie bomb. Because there is another way. Exotic chicken salad from my grandmother’s recipe book is incredibly tasty – and not greasy.

If you want to do it especially well – as my grandmother did then – you should boil a whole chicken (preferably chicken on corn). Because then you will not only get the perfect meat for a salad, but also get a delicious broth – for example, as a basis for a delicious chicken soup.

And by the way: my grandmother did the same thing when she didn’t have time to cook chicken. So, here is her recipe:
Grandma’s chicken salad with tangerines, cherries and celery – a recipe
You need it
250 g Miracle Whip, 30 g tangerine juice from squeezed fruit, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 450-500 g chicken (sliced 1-2 cm), 150 g dried canned or canned mushrooms, chopped or small whole 0 grams of canned food, 1 g of asparagus in jars (cut into pieces 1-2 centimeters long), 100 grams of celery (peeled and cut into strips), 100 grams of drained canned tangerines (cut in half), 100 grams of cherries in jars.
Here’s how it’s done
Place the Miracle Whip in a bowl. Then pour a glass of tangerine and lemon juice, twist it and shake vigorously. The juice mixture is now also in the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Don’t be too careful with seasonings!
Now gradually add all the mentioned ingredients to the sauce. Please mix the ingredients thoroughly and only with a plastic spoon or even a silicone spatula. The ingredients should not be too soft.
Then put the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and let it harden. It may be a few more hours. The salad is stored well chilled for about two days. Be sure to stir before serving.
Grandma’s exotic salad with chicken tastes perfect with a fresh baguette or served in a bed with a crispy salad. Also delicious combination with shuttles made of endive leaves. If you want, cut slices of fresh peach or mango. We wish you a good appetite!
