Spring Asparagus Chicken Salad created by DanaPNY

From a Betty Crocker Booklet from 1992. Very nice salad with the addition of the aspargus and nuts. You can use either white or green asparagus. Allow at least 2 hours of chilling time before being able to serve.

The pineapple chunks really help make this salad sweet and addictive! Like some other reviewers, I added some chopped red onion for brightness, crunch and a little extra flavor...I also threw in a few grape tomatoes just before serving. I featured this recipe in my blog - http://danasfoodblog.com/?p=938.

Made this for dinner with our asparagus and fresh pineapple. Served with crusty bread. Great flavor and beautiful presentation. Company worthy!

This was better than expected! I'm not a big fan of walnuts (unless their in brownies, of course) but this was surprisingly good. I had to double the dressing, and I added extra pineapple juice, red onion and salt and pepper. I didn't have any almonds, but I think that would have been too much anyways. Great recipe!<br/><br/>****Update****<br/>I made the leftovers today tuna-melt style and it was even better than the cold version! I put it on ciabatta rolls with sliced tomato and provalone. Delicious!
