Festive chicken salad log

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
¼ cup Mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon Pepper
4 drops Red pepper sauce
2 cups Finely cut-up cooked chicken
2 Hard-cooked eggs, chopped
¼ cup Sliced green onions (2 to 3 medium)
3 Green pepper rings
1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seed
3 tablespoons Chopped green onion or green pepper
3 tablespoons Chopped pitted ripe olives
3 tablespoons Chopped pimiento, drained

Directions

TOPPINGS

Mix cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, ginger, pepper, and pepper sauce. Stir in chicken, eggs, and ¼ cup onions. Shape into log, 8x2 inches. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.

Cut each green pepper ring once to make a curled strip. Place strips diagonally across log, dividing log into fourths. Sprinkle each section with one of the four remaining toppings. Serve with crackers.

Makes about 10-12 servings.

NOTE: The toppings make it look fancier, but usually I dispense with them and just mound the mix into a serving dish. It's great!
