I found these little cans of Bumble Bee chicken salad at the Dollar store. The can comes with six little crackers that are intended for a snack. I however made a sandwich from the can of chicken salad and put the crackers in my snack drawer for another time. Do you like Chicken salad? This is very good! Yummy!

I love chicken salad. I don't think I have ever had the canned stuff. I might have to check the dollar store next time I am there and see if they still have them. I know they used to. I have seen them many times, but I have never bought them because I was not sure how it would taste. Now that I have a review to go by I will be more willing to try them in the future. I make this chicken salad for my brother sometimes with fried chicken and lots of Cajun seasoning and Mayo. That is it. 3 ingredients. I tried it with veggies the first time I made it, but her prefers it without the veggies.

The brand I have is called Zatarain's. I looked at the bottle. It is actually called Creole seasoning. I got mine at a grocery store around here called Schnuck's. http://shop.zatarains.com/zatarains%AE-creole-seasoning-p-1532.html

That is a great idea and a quick, cheap lunch! You are very clever to make two meals out of one thing like that. And you will always have it there waiting for you at work if you put a few of them in your desk drawer. Clever girl! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!

I love chicken salad. I usually make my own. I never really looked at the dollar store here for the Bumble Bee salad. Buying it allready made would be lots faster than making it myself. thanks for telling me that.

I have had the little Bumble Bee chicken salad kits. Those are so good! I used to take them for my lunch several years ago. They were pretty quick and easy to just grab, along with a fruit, and head out the door. I can't remember why I stopped eating them. I guess I just got out of the habit.

I like chicken salad, but I've never used canned chicken in making it. I make chunky chicken salad using leftover chicken. I never add pickles, but I do add things such as onion, carrots, curry powder, turmeric, black pepper, peppers, etc. I am a use-what-I-have-on-hand kind of girl for the most part, so I come up with some interesting (but tasty) combinations for stuff.
