???? FULL RECIPE:
???? BONUS VIDEO:
Yield: 1
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty Level: Moderate
You'll Need:
For the chicken salad cucumber rolls:
- ⅔ cup cream cheese
- 3-4 cooked chicken breasts, cubed or 20-25 oz chunk chicken breast
- 4 oz canned mandarin oranges
- 4 oz crushed pineapple
- ½ yellow bell pepper, diced
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- 6 hard-boiled egg whites, grated
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
For the cracker crust:
- 8 oz crackers, crushed
- ¾ stick butter, melted
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 6 oz ham
For the creamy tomato salad dressing:
- 24 oz cream cheese
- 3-4 oz tomato paste
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
For the garnish:
- 6 hard-boiled egg yolks, grated
- shredded cheddar cheese
- fresh chopped parsley
- halved cherry tomatoes
- edible flowers
Here's How:
1. For the chicken salad, add the cream cheese, cubed chicken, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and bell peppers to a bowl. Grate the hard-boiled egg whites over the bowl and gently mix to combine.
TIP: Freeze the hard-boiled eggs for 20 minutes so they're easier to grate.
2. For the cracker crust, combine the cracker crumbs and melted butter, press the mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, spread cream cheese over the cracker crust and top with ham slices.
3. Use a vegetable peeler or bread slicer to cut the cucumbers into long, thin slices. Spoon some of the chicken salad onto the end of each cucumber slice, tightly roll up each cucumber slice, wrap plastic wrap around each cucumber roll, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4. Arrange the chilled cucumber rolls upright in the springform pan.
5. For the creamy tomato salad dressing, combine the cream cheese, tomato paste, salt, and pepper with an immersion blender until a smooth liquid forms. Pour the salad dressing between the cucumber rolls in the springform pan and refrigerate for 2 hours.
6. Grate the hard-boiled egg yolks over the cold casserole and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Garnish with chopped parsley, halved cherry tomatoes, and edible flowers before serving.
