I had this for lunch in a little German restaurant. I loved it and decided to make my own. Perfect for a hot summer's day.

How To Make fruited chicken salad

Step 1

Shred the chicken. Drain the pineapple, (save the juice to make some Pineapple Lemonade). Slice the grapes. Place in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Halve the hard boiled egg and separate the yolk into a small bowl. Chop the egg white into small pieces and add to the chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 3

For the dressing: Mash the egg yolk in a small bowl. Add the dijon mustard and the mayo. Add the lemon Juice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4

Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Stir to coat. Chill one hour before serving. Place a lettuce leaf on a plate. Put a scoop of chicken salad in the middle of the lettuce leaf. Top with pecan pieces. Enjoy!
Step 5

Notes: I like red grapes, but green ones will work as well. This is wonderful for a light lunch.
