What goes in your chicken salad....nothing fancy please

[damo]

I like to add red peppers in mine. It is a nice flavour combo.

May I ask why? It's not something I would have thought of on my own, but the grandmother of one of my students years ago made the best chicken salad ever & she always used green grapes cut in half & sliced almonds. It was much better than just adding diced celery like my mother did.

I hate celery, so I'm sure I'd love the grapes instead.


I make mine with Mandarin oranges, chopped water chestnuts and a little soy sauce.


Yum. Now I think I will have to make some for my party this weekend!

I use corn salsa from Trader Joes, and Old Bay seasoning. No grapes, though.

I have about 3 cups of shredded chicken, some grapes, and some mayo. Is that it?? Surley there's some spices or something that needs to go in.

I make mine the same way, except we use Miracle Whip instead of mayo.

I use grapes because that is the way my kids like it. They love their chicken salad.

Back away from the grapes. Just put them down and leave them alone. What did they ever do to you?

Chicken, mayo, celery, salt, pepper, mustard powder and maybe a little paprika or cayenne if you're feeling feisty. Keep the flavors clean and simple.

Stop putting grapes in the chicken salad!!

And all other fruit!!!

Chicken salad for me is chicken mayo, celery, salt, pepper. Put on bread. Eat.

I've actually tried chicken salad with grapes. It was ok, but I wouldn't try it again!

Please no fruits or nuts in my chicken salad!

I love fruit or nuts in chicken salad as long as I'm not eating it as a sandwich

here are couple of recipes that are close to what I make

Off the top of my head. I put chicken, mayo, celery, lots of onion (finely chopped), salt, pepper and the special secret ingredient, 2 tblsp. or so of apple cider vinegar. It gives it a little kick and is the best if you can make it the day before.

I'd save the grapes for a side.

That's what I put in mine, except I use miracle whip instead of mayo.
