Chicken Salad


I love a good chicken salad but I rarely make it at home. 

My BFF Laurie gags at the thought of Chicken Salad.  It's her main food she can't eat.  I think we all have those.  Mine is scrambled eggs. 

I am very picky with my chicken salads.  There are very few that I actually end up liking but this one was the perfect blend of savory and sweet.  My grocery store was completely out of green grapes so I only used red grapes but that didn't seem to matter.  My girls wouldn't touch it but they are the pickiest eaters alive.  I will make this again for sure. 



Ingredients:

3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup thinly sliced celery
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup green grapes , halved
1/2 cup red grapes, halved
1 pkg (2 oz) sliced almonds (toasted)


Combine first 4 ingredients.  Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

Combine mayo, salt and pepper.  Add mayo mixture, grapes and almonds to chilled chicken mixture; toss gently.  

I put mine on croissants and served with fruit.

  1. I love chicken salad so I will definitely be trying this! Normally I don't attempt chicken salad recipes because I'm not sure how to do the chicken. Did you use chicken breast cooked in the oven? Thanks!
