Tried-and-True Chicken Salad
There are so many reasons why chicken salad is such a reliable bowl of goods. Not only is it portable, but it's a protein-packed, sweet and salty, satisfying, healthy treat! Chicken salad also makes a nice alternative to lunch meat in a packed lunch.
When I think of my Tried-and-True chicken salad, it reminds me of my grandmother's vintage Pyrex teal mixing bowl, gingham picnic tablecloths, and a summer afternoon in the park.
Let's take a stroll to the good old days when real dishes were packed for a picnic and things moved more slowly... as if time stood still.
My chicken salad recipe is as classic as the celery, purple onions, and mayo that go in it, but what I like to add that's a little bit special is a splash of Dijon mustard.
To add a little extra sweetness I like to mix in halved red grapes that are ripened, but not too soft... that extra bit of crunch makes the chicken salad extra delectable.
This is great served with crackers, pita bread, or on good old-fashioned wheat bread. I also like to top mine with sprouts!
