Title: Chicken Salad Recipe
Post by: Pappymn on March 21, 2014, 04:07:14 PM

Anybody have a chicken salad recipe that they like. Mine is underwhelming. Not getting the seasoning or something right. I like grapes in mine too.

Let me give  you some ingredients that I find help: smoked chicken, mayo, DiJon mustard, celery seed, and curry.  If you can't or don't have time to smoke the chicken you can go with store bought rotisserie chicken which is almost cheaper than you can do it at home.

Never tried grapes. Mine always has onions, garlic powder, boiled eggs, a bit of Lawry's and Celery Salt. Wife likes a bit of a sweet, so hers gets a couple of TBS sweet pickle relish. I make it quite a bit, but it's never the same.

This recipe is for Turkey, I made it with smoked turkey for my wife's quilt guild and it was a big hit, even a vegetarian fell in love with it. I'm sure it would work with chicken just as well. I got it from allrecipes.com
