LAVENDER MAYONNAISE FOR ELEGANT SALADS, FISH AND CHICKEN



Lavender Mayonnaise for Elegant Salads, Fish and Chicken image

This is a fabulous recipe, or rather a recipe idea. I use this lavender mayonnaise throughout the summer months; it marries so well with poached salmon and is wonderful when served with canapés, salads, cold roast chicken and most types of fish and seafood. It is easy; simply add a drop or two of lavender infused vinegar to homemade or good quality readymade mayonnaise for a floral fantasy at your dinner table! By all means add a few lavender buds when serving this, as a garnish, it adds to the whole dining experience. I have a recipe for lavender vinegar: Recipe #416577

ELEGANT BRUNCH CHICKEN SALAD



Elegant Brunch Chicken Salad image

I made this for a baby shower and was bombarded with requests for the recipe! It is delicious on its own, or with small bread slices or crackers. Don't skimp by not using the homemade mayonnaise, it really adds a special flavor! Makes a 2-quart serving dish full, so if there will be other foods, this will serve at least six, maybe even up to ten!

Categories     Salad

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 egg
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons hot water
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
2 cups halved seedless red grapes
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken and simmer until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Drain, cool and cut into cubes.
  • While boiling chicken, make the mayonnaise: Using a blender or hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg, mustard, salt, water and vinegar until light and frothy. Add the oil a tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Once mixture begins to thicken, you can add oil more quickly. Continue until mixture reaches the consistency of creamy mayonnaise. NOTE: The more oil you add, the thicker it gets; you may not need the full cup of oil.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, grapes, pecans, blue cheese and 1 cup of the mayonnaise. Stir until evenly coated, adding more mayonnaise if necessary. Refrigerate until serving.
