Chicken Pecan Salad on Cucumbers

03-Jan-2006
 
This is a nice light appetizer.  The freshness of the cucumbers offsets all the other richer elements on the table. 
 
I’m not going to give you a specific recipe, as any chicken salad recipe will do.  This one uses chicken, pecans, celery and tarragon but you should make your own favorite combination. 
 
For the cucumbers I prefer the English style long cucumbers.  They are sweet and stay firm longer than regular cukes.  I only peel strips of the skin off, as I like the contrast of the light and dark green.  Cut the slices about ½" thick.  I sometimes also hollow out just a bit of the seed area to make a little cup. But not always – I like to keep people guessing! :-)
