Hawaiian Rice Salad

I found this recipe a few years ago when I was invited to a Luau potluck. It was so enjoyed by all that I sent out the recipe by request. I forgot all about it until recently when someone brought it to another party and said she'd gotten the recipe from me! I lost mine in a computer crash so she sent it back to me. It's delicious!

• 3 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 cups drained pineapple chunks, reserve liquid
• 2 cups sliced celery
• 2 cups cooked chicken, cut in bite-sized pieces
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper to taste

Combine rice, pineapple, celery and chicken. Blend 1/2 cup pineapple juice with mayonnaise. Add to rice and chicken mixture. Toss lightly. Serves 6.
Garnish with sesame and/or celery seeds (optional)
