I guess it was - special that is. It tasted good, and I think I would make it again. I used one large can of chicken breast and Minute Rice. Instead of the Good Seasons dressing, I used a Creamy French dressing. I hesitated to use a full teaspoon of salt, and when I tasted the dressing (of course after adding the salt and mixing it in) I was sure that I shouldn't have used that much. However, when we ate the salad, it tasted just fine - not too much salt at all. I'm glad that Doug likes a light salad supper in the summer - there will be more to come. I recommend this salad - it would make a great bridal shower lunch.
1/3 cup prepared Good Seasons Old Fashioned French Dressing
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1½ cups diced cooked chicken
1 can mandarin oranges
1½ cups cold fluffy rice
Combine dressing, mayonnaise, salt & pepper. Mix well. Combine chicken, celery, oranges & nuts in a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise mixture. Then add rice & mix lightly with a fork. Chill 1 hour. Serve on lettuce. 4-6 servings.
Yum - I want to make it this summer too! Would it be good on croissants?
