I'm going to follow up my potato salad with a chicken salad. I will probably make it next weekend.
Somebody who responded to my potato salad discussion said that they put chicken in their potato salad.
That got me craving chicken salad now.
I think I like chicken salad better than potato salad.
I have only made it one time and it didn't come out that great.
I remember my mother making it once and it was spectacular. I think she put some peas in it and maybe garnished it with asparagus.
I think she put apples in it too.
I just know it was creamy with a bit of a sweet taste to it.
Tell me how you make your chicken salad. I'll see what everyone says and then I will probably take bits and pieces from each of your recipes and from one of my own.
Thanks for your help!

I put a can of drained chicken into a bowl and add a little tub of low fat, softened cream cheese. Then I add chopped celery and fresh onion and garlic. (Everything I make has to have garlic and onion in it. lol) I add some salt and pepper and that's it. It is sooooo good with cream cheese in it instead of mayo.

That sounds so delicious. I don't have a recipe for chicken salad but I've looked at many and never been even tempted So I'll be looking at your responses hoping to find something nice. I love caeser salad with chicken but it's quite expensive to make.

When I make chicken salad I shred the chicken rather fine. i also put in finely chopped celery, green onions. I don't care for fruit in ant meat salads so no grapes or raisins. I will put in some finely chopped carrots sometime then mayo and a dollop of mustard.

I work in a group home and on Thursdays I always make Chicken salad for lunch on friday. Of course I use chicken and mayo, I will throw in grapes or raisins or walnuts. Some onions and celery. Some spices - garlic powder etc.
I hope someone tells what they use...I hate to think I am feeding these guys something awful

I made chicken salad recently! I didn't have any grapes that I usually eat in mine so I had some tangerines. I think it tasted pretty good! I don't like celery, so I don't add that to mine, and I prefer Salad dressing to Mayonnaise. I also cut up red onions and added to it!

yummy! chicken salad. what i do is go to the store and buy the boneless,skinless chicken. i bake the chicken in the oven with a little bit of parsley and lemon pepper on it. then i cut it into chunks by hand or sometimes i will just chop it with the food processer. then i add some diced tomatos and a little bit of sweet relish.
once again i leave the mayo out just in case some people do not like it or are allergic to it.
i do not add mayo. i take the mixture and add it to lettuce leaves and then eat it like that. maybe a little salt and pepper but that is all.nice and healthy and everyone eats it the way that they like. no one is dissapointed
