Chicken salad sandwiches are a favorite with my family. They love them. I usually have something in the fridge for sandwiches year around. We like sandwiches with soup in winter and with chips in summer for lunch. Chicken salad is a great way to use up any left over chicken. I think this recipe will become one of your favorite ways to use chicken. This recipe could be doubled for a crowd or cut in half.
Chicken Salad Simple Ingredients Needed:
Cooked Chicken
Onion
Celery
Boiled Egg
Sweet Pickle Relish
Mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper
Seedless Red Grapes
Walnuts (optional)
Apple (optional)
We love this chicken salad on French bread but it’s so good on just Ritz crackers too. This would also be good in a tortilla wrap with lettuce.
If you like this recipe you may also love our Best Ham Salad. It’s a very popular recipe!
This is a very versatile recipe, you can easily make a few simple substitutions too:
- You can use Greek yogurt in the place of the mayonnaise. You can also use half Greek yogurt half mayonnaise if you like as well. I have made it both ways. You can also add in a little sour cream too.
- Not a fan of sweet relish? Use dill relish!
- Add an apple with the grapes, leave out the grapes, have only apple or leave both out. We like the addition of the grapes.
- You can add some smoked paprika to this recipe to give it a little different flavor. It’s delicious.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save some time!
- Add pecans instead of walnuts or leave the nuts our all together.
