2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 medium size potatoes, peeled and cubed, boiled til tender

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery, apples, mayonnaise, potatoes, half of the eggs, 1 cup of peas, asparagus tips and chopped pimientos. Toss gently to blend and season with salt and pepper.

Line a beautiful glass bowl with lettuce leaves and mound the salad on them. Smooth the top for the garnish.
