Chicken, potato and soured cream salad

Chicken, potato and soured cream saladThis is a salad made with chunks of boiled chicken breast, potato wedges, corn kernels, cooked ham and parsley tossed with a sour cream dressing, served surrounded by tomato and cucumber rings on a bed of lettuce leaves. Trying to spread my wings in the kitchen, I thought can’t we enjoy chicken and potato salad without mayonnaise? I checked the kitchen shelves and there was still one 250 ml. pack of all-purpose cream. I checked the fridge and we still had plenty of kalamansi (native lemon). I peeled the boiled potatoes, added the chopped chicken breast, some salt and pepper then tossed them together. Then, my 12-year-old daughter squeezed the juice from ten pieces of kalamansi which I poured into the all-purpose cream. I let it stand for ten minutes (by which time it had curdled). Meanwhile, 12-year-old girl said corn kernels would go well with the salad. I took some leftover cooked ham from the fridge and chopped them. The rest was just a matter of assembling the salad. Looks good? Ah, you should try it! And the aroma from the kalamansi was marvellous!

    Hi Connie,

    Been enjoying your recipes for a year and would have remained a “silent” reader/fan of yours. However, couldn’t keep myself from thanking you in putting together this great site!!! Thanks a lot, you’ve helped me introduce new “tastes” to my hubby and three daughters.

    My family is based in China right now, and your recipes help me feel and taste home away from home……..
