basically Deb's chicken salad is pretty easy...
make chicken (we just simmer it in water) and debone, refrigerate... cut into bite sized pieces, about 1/2"... add some chopped onion... add some chopped walnuts or pecans... add some chopped celrey (optional)... S&P to taste... add some halved seedless red grapes, and mayo or a mayo/sour cream combo... maybe some paprika sprinkled on top after all is mixed...
Great as a sandwich on a nice baguette with lettuce... or as an app. served on triscuts... (for an app. we chop the chicken very small)... It's light (if you don't use too much mayo, we use just enough to moisten) and very refreshing!
all Deb's measurements are by eye... no set amounts... It turns out slightly different every time... but always a crowd pleaser!
This recipe is a variation of Waldorf Chicken Salad sailing friends of ours make... For Waldorf Chicken salad, just substitute chopped Granny Smith Apples (or other crisp tart apple) for the grapes... another Crowd Pleaser!

Just an FYI... don't add too many grapes or walnuts or pecans or onions at the beginning... add a little of each and adjust to taste and texture until you get the right combination... You'll know when it's right... It really is a great beach lunch! and works well at a "bring an app to a cocktail party" on SXM!

Huhm, I haven't made chicken salad for a while. Looks like it's time to make some, as this is making me hungry! I put a dab of Dijon in the mayo to kick up the taste a bit, as I think just mayo or mayo and sour cream makes it too bland.

I like to put a teaspoon or so of Coleman's Mustard Powder in it, but Deb's not too fond of it... This recipe is definately not bland with the onions & grapes!

seaside2 said: And a few turns on the fresh ground black pepper goes a long way too!! LOL! we've never had any pre-packaged ground pepper in our house... when we use it, it comes right from the grinder... a Greek Coffee Grinder...

I definitely put pepper in, but I still like some dijon, as it seems bland without it, and yes I do put grapes in and walnuts.

yum, yum, yum... we have a variation on this salad, with apples chunks instead of grapes.

Ya know... I don't really have a recipe... I just throw everything together in a large saute pan... I do use canned pineapple chunks (drained), madras curry and sweetened coconut flakes... and a cheap dry white table wine... I cook the chicken in Olive Oil and the curry, then wine when done (let it reduce), and then the pineapple & coconut... We serve it over rice... it's very easy to make!
