How To Serve It?
Since this chicken salad is so delicious, I often eat it spoonful by spoonful. But here are some ways to make it into a complete dinner.
- Stuff it between two slices of bread and cover it with layers of spinach, lettuce, or tomato slices for a sandwich.
- Wrap it in big leaves of romaine or butter leaf lettuce for a low-carb, lighter alternative.
- To make a salad with even more greens, sprinkle a few spoonfuls over a bed of baby spinach or spring mix.
Let’s Try Some Variations
- For a sweeter and crunchier taste, include diced apples or grapes.
- Enhance texture and flavor by adding nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
- For an extra burst of sweetness, mix in dried cranberries or cherries.

- Elevate the dish with the addition of fresh herbs like dill, green onions, or parsley.
- To create a curry variation, sprinkle in powdered curry seasoning and chopped cilantro, and substitute mayo with yogurt.
