Do You Like Chicken Salad? What Do

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:01:19 GMT

you add to your's. DD got a couple good size chicken breasts at Wegmans yesterday. This morning she grilled them in the Ninja.

After they cooled, I cut them in bite size pieces, added celery sliced very thin, halved some green grapes and chopped walnuts, salt and pepper. I then added enough mayo to hold it together but not make it gloopy.

It hit the spot for lunch. I would have added a little onion but DD thought it would be too much. It was still good without it. I think grilling the breasts made it better too.

What do you add to your chicken salad?

I had some a few weeks ago with dried cranberries and walnuts in the salad. I normally wouldn't eat chicken salad as I'm meat fussy, but this was delicious!

I love a nice chicken salad! I usually add some chopped red onion, celery, mayo,salt, pepper and a few dashes of Emerils seasoning (BAM!) I put that in everything, LOL!

We generally make sanwiches.

I found a recipe on Pinterest that I really like because of the dressing. It is a combination of mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip), sour cream, lemon juice, mustard and several spices like dill, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder. The recipe only calls for chicken, celery and onion but I do like grapes and walnuts too.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 I make mine exactly like you do, but I sometimes mix dried cranberries with the grapes

For different twist, I might add apples and on occasion pinapple. I think fruit and nuts makes chicken salad tasty. I don't like onion in my chicken salad, but yes to lots of celery.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 DH loves Coronation Chicken Salad. It has mango chutney, apricots, tomato puree and red wine. What?? I know, but it's good. I posted the recipe on the Recipe forum a few years ago. DH just asked for it again last week.

I would have added craisins to my sandwich but am out of them.

Yum! All of these recipes are making me hungry! I love chicken salad. When I make it, I just throw in craisins, whatever nuts I have on hand, a bit of mayo, and a lemon-thyme spice mix from Aldi's that is pretty good on anything.

This made me think! We don't have a recipe or standard. We use the following in any combination in a salad whether it's chicken, salmon or tuna, greens, or grain based:

Onion, celery, tomato, mayo, yogurt, olive oil, citrus, apple chunks, grapes, berries (fresh or dried), raisins, nuts, curry or not, pickles, bell peppers (almost always red), cucumbers, leek, mango, avocado, artichokes.

We just chop up and throw in whatever we happen to have and seems good that day, with any kind of herb we have around, or maybe garlic or ginger or hot pepper flakes. Sometimes it is a mayo based, dressing, sometimes just oil and vinegar or oil and citrus juice.

My nut of choice for chicken salad is always almonds...I toast them lightly on the stove before adding them into the mix. And I usually don't put grapes into the salad...I serve the grapes whole along side.

I usually use Costco rotiserrie chicken. I add diced celery, sliced green onions, chopped fresh tarragon, Best Food's mayo, and some Dijon mustard. I often add a bit of curry depending on my mood.

If I am serving it as a salad I do like to add fresh red grapes cut in half to it. Fresh pitted cherries are also delicious. Sprinkle it with toasted almonds.

I add chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, boiled egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Vidalia onion dressing, sweet relish, Old Bay seasoning and last but not least salt and pepper. Oh, one more thing...a dash of paprika and parsley flakes to garnish the salad.

Wish Chic-Fil-A would bring back their chicken salad sandwiches.

I tried the copy cat recipe, but it wasn't the same. Maybe it needs

the side of waffles fries to go with.

I don't have a certain recipe for my chicken salad. I just add in

stuff and taste test.
