2 Tbsp milk
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp real lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
IF YOU ARE ONLY WANTING TO MAKE THIS FOR A SMALL GROUP OF FAMILY, SIMPLY CUT RECIPE IN HALF

Steps:

  • 1. I buy canned chicken from Sams club,(chiefs choice chicken breast) if you would rather cook your own chicken you can, just boil 3 lbs of chicken breast and shred.
  • 2. Wash and dry your grapes, I chop my grapes in fourths, so the pieces aren't too big
  • 3. Wash and dry your Apples, I core and then dice my apples into large bite size hunks
  • 4. Wash and dry your spring onions, you may use regular yellow or white onions if you have them, I prefer Spring onions, gives it a little more of a fresher taste in my opinion.
  • 5. Wash and dry your celery, cut off both ends of the stalk, and dice up celery into small pieces ****ONCE YOU HAVE DICED UP ALL YOUR INGREDIENTS,PLACE LEMON JUICE OVER THEM IN A LARGE BOWL,TO KEEP THE APPLES AND GRAPES FROM TURNING BAD******
  • 6. In a separate bowl, mix together the Miracle Whip and milk, lemon juice salt and pepper,dill weed and sugar, set aside.
  • 7. Take you large bowl and toss evenly add shredded chicken, toss again, once salad is tossed well, add sauce, stir and add more salt and pepper to taste if it isn't enough for you. Add Pecans (again Optional) Stir ONCE more, and then place in fridge, better if sits over night, otherwise ready in about 2-3 hours.
  • 8. I serve mine with Miracle Whip and Spicy Brown Mustard on Wheat-berry Bread, I have found Wheat-berry makes the best sandwiches. BUT to each their own!!! Serve with chips, or My Potato Salad also here on JAP!!!! Hope your next POT LUCK of Large family dinner finds this as BIG of hit as it has gone over at my functions and wedding~~~! Or even your small get together's~~~!!!! Enjoy ~Liz
  • 9. P.S. Only good in Fridge for up to 4 days! Just so you know, once you see water at the bottom of your salad, it's time to throw it away!
