Chicken Salad

Today, I decided to make my easy Chicken Salad recipe and decided to share how I do it using Facebook Live. It’s such a simple recipe to make. It makes a perfect lunch and is a great substitute for the usual (smelly) tuna salad.

One Recipe Many Ways!

There are many different ways to enjoy it. I suggest serving it,

  • on top of a slice of whole wheat toast
  • inside of a wrap
  • on top of a lettuce salad; mixed greens or spinach
  • on crackers
  • inside a hollowed out tomato
  • on its own!

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I recommend making it in advance and refrigerating it for later. It’s a great time-saver and simple lunch or dinner solution.

Easy Chicken Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 12.5 oz cans chicken, white meat, packed in water, drained
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, purple or white, diced
  • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, drained, chopped
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, light
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, fat free
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken mixture with dressing. Mix well.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to serve. I recommend letting it chill for at least two hours to bring out the flavor.

Notes

Scoop the seeds out of a tomato or bell pepper and serve a scoop of chicken salad inside, or serve over a piece of whole-wheat toast or a plate of mixed greens or baby spinach.

You may choose to substitute raisins or cranberries for the grapes, or pecans for the walnuts.
