How To Make bonnie's chocolate chicken salad
-
Step 1Dice roast turkey or chicken, remove any skin. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
-
Step 2Wash the seedless grapes, cut in half, blot dry with paper towels and add to the bowl.
-
Step 3Add the 1/2 cup of Craisins to the bowl.
-
Step 4Add the 1/2 cup of Cashew nuts to the bowl
-
Step 5Add the 1/4 cup of pine nuts.
-
Step 6Add kosher salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 7Add 4 teaspoons of mayonnaise to the mixture in the bowl.
-
Step 8Now for the chocolate. I use almond bark chocolate because it is lower in sugar and keeps its shape. The taste is also not overwhelming.
-
Step 9Chop 2 ounces and add to the mixture in the bowl. If you have some shavings while chopping, that is okay, add them, too.
-
Step 10Gently combine ingredients with a wooden spoon until well mixed. The salad should have just enough mayo to wet the ingredients and not smother it. You can always add more if you desire.
