I serve this entree salad in hollowed-out pineapple halves as a pretty company dish. Tender chicken tossed with fruit, nuts and veggies is delicious with a mild curry dressing.—Ryma Shohami, Montreal, QC

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • 4 cups sliced cooked chicken breast
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped

  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Leaf lettuce, optional

Directions

  1. Cut pineapple in half; remove fruit, leaving 1-in. shells. Set shells aside for serving; cut fruit into cubes.
