Notes
- HOW LONG IS HOMEMADE CHICKEN SALAD GOOD FOR?
- It will keep for up to three to five days in the refrigerator. Just keep it in an airtight container.
- When I make it, I usually make it a day in advance so it’s nice and cold when I’m ready to serve it. It also gives the flavors a chance to mix together. Also, making it ahead is perfect for easy lunches!
- When you serve it, don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. If it’s very warm or hot you will want to shorten that time. Since it’s a mayo-based salad it’s best to keep it chilled.
- If you are serving it in warm weather I always place the serving bowl inside a bigger bowl that is half full of ice to keep the mixture cold
- IDEAS FOR SERVING IT!
- Nutrition calculated for filling only.
- I love to use red grapes in this recipe because they are delicious and also add a pop of color! You can substitute green grapes, too, or do a mix of both.
- A lot of different kinds of nuts will work so if you don’t love pecans feel free to substitute chopped walnuts or almonds. They’re really good, too.
- I love sweet red apples, but if you want a little more tartness substitute Granny Smith apples!
- Make sure your chicken is cold when you mix it with the dressing. If it’s warm or hot it will break down the mayonnaise and your dressing will end up runny instead of creamy.
- Speaking of chicken, you can use all white meat or use a mix of white and dark meat. You could even use leftover roast turkey to make this salad, too!
- Obviously, you can serve it as a sandwich – that’s my favorite way! I love it on whole-grain bread. Sometimes I toast the bread first.
- I also love it on croissants like you would get a cafe. The combination of the buttery, flaky rolls, with the cold salad is so delicious.
- Or, skip the bread and serve it on top of a bed of lettuce. I like a mix of lettuce like romaine, spinach, and shredded iceberg for lots of crunch! Add other veggies, like chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and radishes to make it even more filling.
