Three Guys From Miami: Cuban and Spanish Food Recipes
Raúl Musibay: Chicken has always been popular in Cuba.

Jorge Castillo: And we love our salads.

Glenn Lindgren: So it's no surprise that Cubans have a great chicken salad recipe. The carrots and peas give this dish a lot of color for a nice presentation.

Raúl Musibay: And make it a lot easier to eat in the dark!

Jorge Castillo: With just a hint of garlic, everyone seems to love this salad.

Glenn Lindgren: Even Raúl, flashlight and all!

Yield: 4-6 servings

Some Cubans added a tropical flavor to an American chicken salad recipe! The must-have hit of 1950's Miramar, Cuba!

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups diced carrots
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/2 to 2/3 cup real mayonnaise
1 lime, juice only
2 cloves garlic, minced very fine
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 pound cooked chicken meat, diced
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the carrots and peas separately in the microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes on high. Carrots should be soft, peas dark green. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.

Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and garlic in a mixing bowl. Adjust the mayonnaise to get the right consistency. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the carrots, peas, celery, onion, and cooked chicken together. Add the mayonnaise mixture, a little at a time, until you get the proper consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the chopped eggs. Serve well chilled on a bed of lettuce.
