General Primary Board Chicken Salad

Many years ago, Marlene G and I were in a Stake Primary presidency together. We were lucky enough to be able to host the General Board for multi-stake meetings. I would have one member and she would have another stay at her house. We would also be lucky enough to feed everyone lunch-Weren't we lucky.

We were also very sure that our own Chicken salad should be used. She thought as highly of hers as I thought of mine. We took them to a Presidency meeting to have a taste off with the other members of our presidency. We were shut down by the other members who said that they didn't prefer either one over the other. Instead a mutated version of both was developed and the end result with a mild reprimand and reminder from all of the others to not think so highly of ourselves was the following recipe

2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 - 1 cup cashews
1 lg can crushed pineapple-drained
1/4 c chopped green onion
1 small can sliced water chestnuts
coconut to taste
Equal parts mayo and Sour Cream

Combine all ingredients and chill at least one hour. Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves with ritz crackers, crossaints, or french bread with a side dish of fresh fruit salad.
