Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
    5-6 parsnips
    1 can pineapple rings
    2 tbsp light mayonnaise (real mayo, not Miracle Whip)
    salt to taste, about 1/4 tsp

Directions

Dice chicken into medium chunks and boil in water, about 2 minutes or just until done - do not overpoach chicken. Chicken should be white when pulled apart, not yellow.
Peel and medium-dice parsnips, about 3/4-inch thickness, while waiting for the chicken.
Drain but reserve water. Cool chicken in the fridge.
Boil parsnips in reserved water until tender but not overcooked. Cool.
Drain and cut pineapple into medium chunks, reserving some liquid.
Combine chicken, parsnips and pineapple in a large mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, salt and some juice if desired to add flavour.
Mix together and refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours. Stir before serving, perhaps adding a sprinkling of salt to rejuvenate.
