No, Im not getting on board a ship. I am headed to the store to get the ingredients for Princess Chicken and Cashew Waldorf Salad!!!

 

I believe I ate more of that than anything else.

Do you have the Princess cookbook? They have some of the best recipes in it from the ships.

This is the Chicken Salad from the International Cafe:

 

Princess Chicken and Cashew Waldorf Salad

 

2 ½ oz. cashews

2 c. roasted chicken cut in bite-size pieces

1 Granny Smith apple; cored, peeled and chopped

2 celery stalks, sliced diagonally

½ small onion, chopped

⅓ c. mayonnaise

⅓ c. plain yogurt

⅓ c. coconut milk

1 t. Worcestershire sauce

½ t. grated lemon zest

1 pinch grated nutmeg

Salt and white pepper

 

Preheat oven to 350° F. Place cashews on a dry baking sheet in a single even layer. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes until cashews are toasted and lightly browned. Remove from oven. Cool completely before adding to salad. Reserve 2 T. cashews for garnish.

 

Stir together mayonnaise, yogurt and coconut milk in a small bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, and lemon zest and blend well. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

 

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, apple, celery, onion and toasted cashews. Pour the mayonnaise mixture on top and mix well.

 

Garnish with reserved 2 T. cashews and serve.

 

I was searching for this recipe and found it thanks to a previous thread here on Cruise Critic by Mary Ellen 1. She apparently requested it and Princess sent it to her.

Turned out OK. I would go with about 25-50% less onion than the recipe calls for, or use a milder onion - the onion is too strong in my first attempt. I used a yellow onion, next time I will switch to a red onion and maybe put 1/3 of a small onion instead of 1/2.

 

Otherwise, it's good!

Try a white onion-they are milder
