Directions

  • Blend egg yolks, vinegar, sugar, mustard and salt in a food processor.
  • With the processor
    running, slowly pour oil in a thin stream into the machine through the top spout.
  • Refrigerate
    this mixture.
  • Grill the chicken until no longer pink in the center, approximately 10 minutes.
    Remove from the grill, cool slightly and cut into bite sized pieces.
  • Place the chicken,
    craisins and celery in a serving bowl.
  • Add the dressing and toss to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate 8-10 hours.
  • Just before serving, add the pecans and toss gently,
  • Serve over lettuce or on croissants.
*NOTE: when a recipe requires "raw" eggs as

an ingredient, there is always a concern that potentially harmful bacteria may have invaded the
egg, which may cause illness in humans. Although the probability is low (1 in 20,000 eggs), the
concern does exist; therefore, if you are concerned about using raw eggs, consider using an egg
substitute, such as pasteurized whole eggs, egg white substitutes, or meringue powder, to reduce
the potential of bacterial contamination.
