Recipe: Chicken Salad
Hi, in a post I deleted, I also deleted my chicken salad recipe. Sorry. Here it is, again:
Libby’s Chicken Salad
Chicken Breasts, cooked, cooled and chopped (or shredded)
Onion, diced small (approx. 1 t. per chicken breast)
Celery, diced small (approx. 1 t. per chicken breast)
Carrots, diced small (approx 1 1/2 t. per chicken breast)
Grapes, cut in half or quarters (approx. 2 T. per chicken breast)
Pecans, chopped (approx. 2 T. per chicken breast)
Mayonnaise (must be real mayo), approx. 2 T. per chicken breast)
Dill Pickle Juice, to taste (offsets some of the sweet from the mayo)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Mix everything together, to taste. I like my chicken shredded instead of chopped, but, you should make this your own to how you like it. I have given some approximate measurements, but still engourage you to add more or less depending on the flavor you want for your chicken salad.
Two things that are a must are the Dill pickle juice and the Real Mayo. I use Kraft Real Mayonnaise. If you use salad dressing (Miracle Whip), it will completely change the flavor. And if you use sweet relish it will drastically change the flavor as well.
I really like a lot of pecans and grapes. That sweet and nutty crunch is great.
Have fun with and make it your own.
