this is a gorgeous
gourmet chicken salad to serve guests,
the chicken salad is given a boost and enhanced further with
small green onion sliced thinly
and fresh lemon juice and zest.... oh, it's good!
I like to serve this beautiful chicken salad to my overnight guests
for lunch with lots of toasted cheese bread slices
and a bottle of chilled sauvignon blanc

Chicken Salad
wrapped in Cucumber Slices
source: recipe
idea and photograph created by Peggy Bucholz for www.finedinings.com
Serves 2
1 Chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
4 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
zest of 1 lemon, divided
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or enough to moisten
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 English cucumber, seedless, unpeeled
3-inch ring mold, lightly oiled (I use an empty clean tuna can, both ends removed)
In a skillet over medium heat melt butter; sauté chicken breast until juices run clear; remove from heat; dice
finely and combine in a small bowl with chopped celery, onion, lemon zest (reserve 2 teaspoons for garnish), lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
Cut English cucumber into thin lengthwise slices by using a mandoline or a large
knife. Place ring mold on a serving plate, insert two
slices cucumber around the inside of each ring mold overlapping slightly as my
photograph indicates. Fill with the chicken salad mixture. Carefully lift the ring mold
up from the chicken salad. Garnish with
the reserved lemon zest and
serve this beautifully unique creation with toasted cheese bread, if desired.
Wine
recommendation: Pinot Noir
