For those who may not like raisins or grapes in their chicken salad (that would be me...LOL!) I offer the following version. I’ve been making this since I was a teenager, and have no idea where I got the recipe originally...which means I don’t actually have one; but you will get the idea.
Cooked chicken chopped to your preference.
Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Green olives, sliced
Scallions, chopped
Fresh chives, if we have them around
Salt & Pepper
Optional paprika, dill, garlic powder, celery seed..whatever you like. I usually use all of them.
Mayo or Miracle Whip, and a little prepared mustard for dressing. I also sometimes add finely chopped red pepper or celery.
On a croissant with butter lettuce; or I sometimes serve it as an appetizer with crackers or piled into endive cups.
That sounds like my wife’s chicken salad. Just change the green olives to black olives, and definately use the dill and celery seed. It is very good.
That sounds very good too! Green olives are a favorite of mine. I copied down your recipe and will try it next time.
