Yum-o! Made this for dinner tonight. My fiance plays softball on Fri. His games have been late in the eve. recently. When my fiance plays late, there is usually time for dinner, but it must be "light" (my fiance doesn't like to play on a full stomach). Janet's recipe fit the bill perfectly!!! My best description of this can be likened to pesto - fresh & slightly garlicky. I did make a couple of changes that may have contributed to the salad's pesto-like flavor. I added a very sm. yellow onion to my mayo (light variety / 1/2 c. worth) / celery / garlic / basil mix. and used 2 VERY large cloves of garlic (we love the stuff!). I used my little food chopper to pulse everything. This made for a slightly crunchy base (as opposed to using a fp). I set aside 2 chicken breasts earlier this wk. with the intention of making cajun chicken sandwiches (also on this site), but never got around to making them. I didn't want to waste good meat, so I seasoned both breasts with s&p and microwaved in an 850 watt oven for just a little under 10 min. I allowed everything to cool, chopped and added to my mayo mix. Perfect! Oh, and I splurged and bought fresh grated Parm (canned - yuck!). Served "sandwich-style" on artisan Tuscan herb formaggio bread (second splurge!) with a side of parmesan garlic pretzel chips and biscotti that I picked up at my local Italian market. So good! Thanks for sharing, Janet :)
