Chicken and Tomato Salad

Chicken and Tomato Salad is one of those recipes that I use when trying to impress guests. The fact that the salad is served in a tomato is very impressive. But it isn't just about presentation, this salad is healthy and delicious too.

When I'm on one of my rare weight watching programs I find this an ideal lunch.

You can also replace the almonds with pine nuts or another favorite nut to vary the tatste of the salad and avoid becoming bored with it.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 to 3 cups diced cooked chicken

1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup chopped celery

2 teaspoons grated onion

1/2 cup seedless green grapes, halved

1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds, optional

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 cup mayonnaise (If dieting use diet mayonnaise)

1 teaspoon salt

dash ground black pepper

6 large tomatoes

Method:

Combine chicken, apple, celery, onion and grapes. (Add almonds)

Blend curry powder with mayonnaise, salt and pepper; mix into chicken mixture.

Chill thoroughly.

Core tomatoes then cut into sixths, but not all the way through. The six wedges of each tomato should form a tomato "flower" when spread slightly.

Fill tomato "flowers" with chicken salad and you have Chicken and Tomato Salad.

Serves 6.
