Indonesian Chicken and Pear Salad


1 ½ c cold cooked chicken or turkey breast, cubed
3 fresh pears, halved and cored
¼ c roasted peanuts or almonds, coarsely chopped
½ c cucumber, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. crystalline ginger, slivered
2 Tbsp. green onions, thinly sliced
Lemon juice
Red or green leaf lettuce

Dressing:
½ nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
½ tsp. curry powder
¼ tsp. dry mustard
¼ tsp. ground allspice
¼ tsp. garlic powder


Place chicken or turkey in bowl. Cube 1 pear. Add to chicken along with nuts, cucumber, ginger and onion.

To make curry dressing, combine yogurt, curry powder, dry mustard, ground allspice and garlic powder; mix well. Make about 30 minutes before using so that flavors can develop. (Makes about 2/3 cup dressing)

Gently combine curry dressing with chicken mixture.

Dip pear halves in lemon juice and arrange each half on lettuce leaves. Spoon salad onto pear halves.

Marilyn, this sounds so good.  I love pears and miss them in a lot of recipes.

This sounds good Marilyn I will have to try this soe time soon.
