Southern, Homestyle Chicken Salad
(basic but full of flavor)
It's so hard to get a homemade recipe for chicken salad if you ask people. Everyone always says "well...I don't know...I never measure when I make it." I always hate when people tell me that lol but I find myself saying the same thing. It really is one of those recipe that you just throw how much of each ingredient in that you like. I've been getting so many request for it, I thought I'd make it and try to write down everything I put in it.
Although this chicken salad recipe is very basic, it is still creamy and full of flavor, yet still enough room to customize it just the way you like. It has just the right amount of crunch from the onions and celery with that perfect blend of spice from the celery salt and other seasonings. Not to mention that kick of light sweetness from the sweet relish.
If you like a sweet & crunchy chicken salad go ahead and throw in some cranberries, grapes, raisins or nuts.
As with all chicken salad recipes be sure to season a little at a time, tasting after each seasoning, until you get the taste you love.
INGREDIENTS: (makes 6-10 sandwiches depending on how much filling you like. I like a lot!)
