Okay...so IT Guy likes plain chicken salad. And by plain, I mean
plain. And boring. He prefers canned chicken mixed with some mayo and
some Lawry's Seasoning Salt. That's it. No celery, no onion. See? I told
you it was plain and boring. Me? Well...I'm about making chicken salad a
party! Some fresh, cooked chicken, some mayo, grapes, pecans...you get
the idea. When we lived a California, a friend and I would frequent this
little cafe where they served THEEEE best chicken salad ever. And it
was served on purple bread. Yep...purple! That was my intro to fancy
chicken salad and I've never turned back. This can be served on yummy
bread, scooped with crackers or wrapped in a lettuce leaf. Super good
any way you choose!
My Favorite Chicken Salad
3 cups cooked chicken ~ diced (white, dark or a combo)
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups red, seedless grapes ~ cut in half
1 cup diced celery
1 - 2 tablespoons dried dill
1 cup mayo
1 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, sour cream, dill and salt and pepper.
Add the pecans, cooked chicken, celery and grapes.
Stir to combine.
Chill for several hours to allow flavors to blend.
Serve with crackers, as a sandwich or as a lettuce wrap.
Welcome!
Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
