I have always been a big fan of chicken salad. It was a staple in our household when I was growing up. I watched mom make it many times and often helped her with it. I almost use her recipe for making it whenever I make some for us now. One of the things I most remember about making the salad with her is that she never chopped her chicken or her celery with a knife. She always used her kitchen scissors. And she had a yellow tupperware container that she always put her chicken salad in. I still have that and use it whenever I make chicken salad!
But, I decided that I wanted to try something a little different with my chicken salad. It's not because I don't like the way I've been making it, I just did not want to burn myself out on it, so decided to look for something different, yet still basic. I'm not one for a whole of ingredients in my chicken salad. Too many flavors mess it up for me LOL But I will always give it a chance, just to try it. Anyway, I found this recipe online and enjoyed it. It will become part of my rotation.
Chicken Salad
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped*
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 green onion, sliced**
1/2 cup mayo
1 Tbsp brown mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until the mixture is well coated. Chill in the fridge for awhile before serving on a sandwich or bed of lettuce.
*to save time, I sometimes used the bags of precooked sliced chicken, they work well
**any onion will do: red or white, just a small amount as to not overpower the dish
Enjoy!
