Chicken salad with roasted almonds

Chicken salad with roasted almonds       10 Portions:

Ingredients:
1 kg. of (Cooked) chicken, cubes
1 cup of apricots, rinsed, small cubes
1/2 cup of green onions, chopped
1/c cup of cilantro/coriander leaves, chopped
1/2 cup of celery, fine thin slices
1 cup of mayonnaise
12 tea spoon of sour cream
2 tea spoon of lemon zest
3 avocado peeled, wedges
25-30 pieces of Boston lettuce (Green leaves), rinsed, air dried
1/2 cup of almond slices, lightly toasted/roasted
3 tea spoon of Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tea spoon of olive oil
1 pinch of nutmeg, ground
Method:
First, in a steel bowl, mix the chicken, celery, g-onions and the apricots (Lightly). Now, in a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, p-cheese, lemon zest & the nutmeg. Then mix this mixture with the chicken mixture (Lightly). Make sure you soak the avocado slices in a solution made up of some cold water and 2 tea spoon of either lime or, lemon juice, so avoid the dis-colouration! Using a paper towel, just dry them up. Then distribute those lettuce leaves in 10 different (Chilled) serving plates. Now, distribute the chicken mixture in 10 portions and make sure you put the chicken mixture in the centre of the plates. Garnish the plate with some avocado as you like and sprinkle some of the almonds & cilantro/coriander leaves on them. Very yummy and looks awesome.
