Someone told me about Durkee’s famous sauce.  I think it is the secret to this great salad.

by Pat Savoie

1              baked chicken — deboned
1              bunch  red grape
celery — chopped
bell pepper — chopped
1                can  pineapple — tidbits, drained
1                cup  pecans or walnuts — chopped
1/2           cup  mayonnaise
1/2           cup  Durkee’s famous sauce

Serving Ideas : Serve in a hollowed out bread bowl with fruit with a tomato cut open like a flower in a sandwich with raisin bread.

*Durkee’s can be found in the mayonnaise section of Kroger’s.

Darnell likes to serve this simple fruit salad with dinner.  She often puts it on the buffet table at our family Easter gathering and at birthday parties. It’s a good recipe for kids to help with since there is no chopping or cooking.
