We love chicken salad. There are so many chicken salad recipes out there, but this is my go to. It’s like all of the recipes I share – simple, delicious and customizable.
Growing up, Mom and Grammy used to make us a big container of chicken salad before we would start our road trip to the cabin every summer, I always loved it. I even had my mom (because everything tastes better if your mom makes it for you) make us a big tub before Josh and I moved to Chicago this past summer (in an R.V. – another story for another time).
Use your mayonnaise of choice, I personally like Miracle Whip, but use whatever you prefer. Same with the fruit, I love to use grapes, but you could substitute with craisins, apples or even pickles or sweet relish. Some people even add pecans. You do you, boo.
This makes a decent amount, enough to take to a shower with crackers or small croissants, but if you’re like us, you can also just make it on Sunday and use it for lunches/snacks for the week. Y’all give it a try and let me know what you think!
