Yummy Chicken Salad

This is my favorite chicken salad recipe. It comes from my Aunt Sheri, who is a wonderful cook! The amounts of the ingredients are relative, so if you like more or less of something, then do it the way you like it :) It's great on rolls, croissants, cream puffs, etc.

Ingredients:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

5 green onions, chopped

1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

2/3 cup small grapes, sliced

1/2 apple, chopped

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped (I used a whole rotisserie chicken)

Mix well and enjoy!!

Creamy Cauliflower Salad

3/4 cup mayonnaise

cooked, chopped chicken

crushed pineapple,
drained celery
small grapes
green onion
slivered almonds
diced apples

*Amounts are relative, use enough to make as much as you want. Use cream cheese to keep salad together and only enough salad dressing to thin it to your desired consistency. This is great in cream puffs!
