Chicken Salad W/ Pineapple Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

"Red peppers and pineapple add the pizazz to this summery salad; while the pineapple poppyseed dressing is what makes this dish shine! I've made it as a meal, but also makes a beautiful addition to a picnic."

  1. Easy, fast and delicious. I used sugar instead of Splenda and it was great. You might want to double the dressing if you plan on using the full bag of broccoli slaw.
     
  2. Great salad! The flavors are very nice and the dressing is very refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. What a treat. The combination is just wonderful. I will cut back on the red peppers next time. I made a little extra dressing with the remaining pineapple juice which I'm glad I did because I don't think it would have been enough with the original stated amount. I also let this marinade for about an hour and the flavors really came through and the slaw was not soggy at all. I may add some red onion to the mix next time. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for PRMR :)
     
  4. You've got A VERY NICE, FESTIVE & GREAT TASTING SALAD ~ Really loved the dressing & will be making this again! I actually served this as a meal of its own & included what amounted to 1 very large chicken breast! Thanks for sharing this wonderful salad recipe! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag]
     
  5. What a nice refreshing salad. I made it for our lunch today. I did use fresh pineapple only because I had some available. This was a quick and easy dish to prepare. Will be making this one again. What a great way to get some of your fruit and veggies for the day. Thanks for posting.

<img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC12-Brooke.jpg> <br> <br>I have been a member of Zaar for awhile now and found that I love it! I have tried so many recipes and many new foods that I never would have without Zaar. <br> <br>I work full-time at a university in Wisconsin, it allows me to travel a bit and see the rest of the state, I work with a lot a great people and am really happy in my job. <br> <br>When I'm not working, I spend time with my hubby and 12 year old son. My son has picked up my love for cooking, a few of the things he makes are - naan bread, cookies, and quick breads, I'm so proud of him! In our family we also have two cocker spaniels, our puppy Laci (above) and Peanut, that we adore like they were our children. <br> <br>We live in an old farm house that we are remodeling (did the library and the kitchen so far....) on the outskirts of town. Close enough where my hubby can bike to work in the summer, but far enough away from campus that we don't have to lock down our lawn ornaments in fear of college pranks! <br><img src=http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp340/northwestgal/zwtbanner-small-1.jpg> <br> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg> <br><img src=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg> <img src=http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t237/akplongmeadow/AdoptATag2-2-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group01avocado.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group15watermelon.jpg> <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/CobblerPieTartSTICKER.jpg> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif> <img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/PotLuckSTICKER.jpg> <img src=http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/pelysma/ssb08banner_300.jpg> <img src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2545727197_10b4774890.jpg?v=0 alt= Cilantro-May 2008> <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/TasteofYellowSTICKER.jpg> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/ZaarStar-AMBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/CV.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/banners/cookathonLorac-1.jpg?t=1217936137> <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Flourpowersticker.jpg> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/SoupsandsaladSTICKER.jpg>
