re: How do you make your chicken salad?

Kept looking for my post from earlier and saw everything I wrote in someone else's post and when I got to the end realized I had been posting on my phone and it never went out.

Let me do it again.

Lots of chicken salad recipes turn out good. I'm not sure that I have a favorite.

We either use chicken tenders, poached in chicken broth with celery, pepper and salt, which I like and the wife says is always too dry, or we use Sam’s rotisserie chicken. The Sam’s is a lot juicier, but it is all the way across town. We cut it into ½ inch chunks and add Hellman’s mayo, chopped celery and chopped sweet pickles.

Alternate additions depend on our mood and include chopped walnuts, craisins, halved grapes, diced Apples, a splash of not too dry white wine and maybe other things I am forgetting. I like mine chunky. There is a caterer place here that makes really good finely minced chicken salad and if someone brings it to a gathering, I’ll happily eat it, but the stuff is too easy to make to go somewhere to buy it and I like it chunky if I make it.

We never go to the beach without a big chilled bowl of chicken salad in the cooler. Love it on Ritz crackers or wheatberry bread. May well be my favorite Saturday lunch.
