Yesterday set a heat record for the date in Denver.
Last night's dinner was a chicken salad:


4 poached chicken breasts, chilled and cubed
(poached with quartered onion, celery and carrots)
finely chopped celery
finely shredded lovage leaves (just a few)
1 cup pineapple, cut into small cubes
(or sweet grapes, cut in half)


Dressing
Mix together:
good quality mayo (Hellman's) (maybe 3/4 cup?)
1-2 tsp. very finely chopped onion
1/4 tsp sugar or to taste
couple of Tbsp pineapple or orange juice
curry powder to taste
few grinds of black pepper

Add to chicken, mix well and chill.

Serve on lettuce leaves or pineapple shells
sprinkled with toasted slivered almonds

We also had fresh corn muffins with it and
Matua sauvignon blanc. Perfect.
