Recipe: Summer Chicken Salad

Summer Chicken Salad

2 cup diced chicken meat (*cooked and diced)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Dash of pepper
Cashews for garnish

Toss diced chicken meat, celery and parsley in a large bowl. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, seasoned salt, and pepper; fold into chicken mixture. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Serve.

*Johnna's tip: 90 degrees people! No time for slaving over the stove in this type of heat. Whip up a good chicken salad and buy your favorite wheat bread, some crackers or some mixed raw veggies (*that can be consumed raw, of course...) and munch on this until the heat wave passes. Yes, in DC, 90 degrees can be considered a heat wave (*Well that's because the heat is in conjunction with the humidity, emissions from the buses and trains and not to mention the crowds of tourists adding to the over a million residents of the District...Not to say we're not glad to have them, but it does add to the body heat numbers...) Stay cool!
