Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise ( you can use greek yogurt as your base)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat ( I always use canned chicken)
1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped finely
Directions:
mix your mayonnaise, lemon juice, & pepper, chop your veggies and add then, then add your chicken.
This is a fantastic base of a chicken salad - You can eat it just like this and it is amazing... or you can get creative.
I added basil when we had so much of it. I just rolled the leaves and then sliced them really thin and stirred them in. It was really good and added a nice fresh change.
Try having it on different bread - sometimes we get special and have it on croissants.
Or our new favorite bread to have chicken salad on - Raisin Bread.. Who would have thought that?!
We love to add fruit to the salad - tart green apples or grapes are wonderful with chicken salad.
Lettuce and sprouts add texture - and you can try and spicy greens that you have on hand.
I like to make a big batch on Saturday - and make it very basic, then put it on my list of things we have to eat - Then is someone isn't too fond of dinner, looking for a bigger snack, or having lunch there is something prepared and ready to go.
