SWEDISH SALAD

Perfect for summer eating; this fruity salad is so full of flavour and different texture with a lovely combination of the sweet fruit and savoury chicken coated in a mildly spicy, creamy mayonnaise. 

Ingredients: 
1 roasted chicken cut into strips
12oz long grain rice
2 green and 2 red eating apples, halved, cored and thinly sliced
3 bananas, peeled and sliced thickly
Grapes
Lemon juice
300ml double cream
210ml mayonnaise
2 tsp mild curry powder
Salt and pepper
Parsley to garnish


Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil, add the rice and cook until tender.  Drain and spread out on a platter to cool.  Sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice and set aside.  Now whip the cream to the same consistency as the mayonnaise and gently fold into the mayonnaise to combine.  Add the curry powder.  Fold in the chicken along with the fruit, season and add more lemon juice to taste.  Pile the mixture on the bed of rice and garnish with the parsley.
