If your looking for a new spin on the old chicken salad, boy do I have a recipe for you! Not only is this gourmet chicken salad recipe super easy to make, it’s also amazingly cheap and can be made to include practically anything you want. Take that $11 you would spend in your local cafe for a similar sandwich and feed your entire family easily!
If you are looking for something else to add to this salad try adding apples if they are in season. I also like to use left over oven baked chicken. We are not big on left overs in my house so this is a great recipe for us to make sure to use what we have (and I dont have to hear complaints 😉 ).
What ever you do, DO NOT ADD TO MUCH MAYO! Even if your a big mayo fan start out with a small amount because you can always add more. You do not want this salad to be to thick.
