Chicken Salad
Basic chicken salad recipe to fit everyone's taste for a quick easy meal.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken 1 lb chicken 6 servings
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon celery salt or celery seed
- pinch of salt and pepper
- *optional: add mustard or dry mustard
Optional serving sizes
- 1 ½ cups chicken+1/4 cup mayo = 4 servings
- 1 cup chicken+1-2 tablespoons mayo = 2 servings
Instructions
- Cut or shred chicken into small pieces.
- If shredding chicken it's best to do that while the chicken is warm, but allow any chicken to cool completely before mixing with mayo.
- Mix the chicken with mayo first (this prevents the chicken salad from becoming watery as it sits if you are not eating it immediately)
- Next, add in the celery, celery salt/seed, and add some additional salt if desired and black pepper to taste.
- Alternatively, you can put all ingredients in the food processor and pulse it until the chicken and mayo have blended well and the chicken is in fine pieces, not in chunks.
