Water chestnuts and pecans dress up this creamy chicken salad sent by Margaret McNeil in Memphis, Tennessee. It looks especially pretty nestled on a bed of lettuce leaves, but it also makes a fun sandwich filling.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 3 tablespoons chopped celery
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
  • 4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
  • 4 teaspoons diced pimientos, drained
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 lettuce leaves
  • 1 hard-boiled large egg, sliced

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Serve on lettuce-lined plates. Garnish with egg slices.
