This versatile salad is great on a sandwich, on a cracker or served over a bed of lettuce.

Great Chicken Salad Recipe!!!

[narses]

I like chicken salad, this recipe sounds great!

[radiohead]

Whoa - 2 cups of mayo?! Just put enough so that it’s moist to your taste, I’m pretty sure that won’t be 2 cups worth.

I always look at the recipe when you post, but I have to say that this site has the most fat-laden recipes I’ve seen in a long time. The general ideas seem ok, but they could all use a little lighter hand with the fat.

I love chicken salad!

[SonnyBubba]

Way too much mayo, and I would use green onions with alot of green top.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Pinapple!!?? Walnuts!!??

Now way!

Asa chicken salad purist in therse matters the ONLY ingredients should be"

Chicken breasts boiled and finely chopped.

Scallions fresh and finely chopped according to taste.

Celery salt, lightly added.

Pepper also lightly added.

Mayonaise, added to taste or desired moistness.

Anyone adding relish or pickles should be taken out and shot!

Where can I get a good egg salad sandwich in Calif? Answer. Nowhere.

Use Canola based Mayo, no cholesterol and half the fat.

Cut out the pineapple and use red grapes sliced in half. Delicious! Also, sounds like too much mayo—just need enough to moisten everything.

Haven’t had egg salad in years. HMMM.

[DallasDeb]

I like red onions!

You guys are making me hungry. Think I’ll go home and eat the rest of my turkey breast salad on 7-grain bread. Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.

I have a simple chicken salad recipe - use whatever cooked chicken you have - or boil in chicken broth with a couple stalks of celery or even just the leaves - when it is done chop then run through a food processor to get a fine crumble. set aside.

Mix equal parts sour cream and mayo - add celery salt to taste - then mix in a couple of stalks of fresh celery chopped fine and the chicken.

If you need more moisture, mix a little more of the mayo/sour cream mixture.

This is the basic recipe and is wonderful like this - or you can add chopped nuts, dried cranberries, grapes - anything you like in a salad.

OK, I'll play.

Curried Chicken Salad

Two cups chicken breast, preferably poached
Quarter cup of chopped celery
Half cup of seedless grape, sliced in half
The best mayo you can manage
Curry powder to taste

Not chicken salad, but what's in my oven cooking for dinner right now

Lobster mac and cheese

Big Y sells frozen lobster & I always watch for the buy 1 get 2 free sales. Rich as heck, but I wanted to let my husband know I love him & to make up for being cranky (Fractured my ankle & foot, I'm not happy when I'm forced to stay off my feet for a few days)

My chicken salad - not pineapple, but apples or red grapes (also have added chopped dried apricots, hate raisens, but you may like them), celery, onion, touch of mayo & a light sprinkle of poppy-seeds & of course, salt & fresh ground pepper
