My Mom put in 2 diced sweet pickles and a small diced dill pickle. Also gotta have red onion, eggs and celery. I use Dukes mayo, some dijon mustard and I like your idea for sour cream! Your recipes look great also!

I made your classic chicken salad Friday and now it’s my new favorite! I’m usually not a fan of sweet pickle relish in chicken salad, but combined with the lemon juice and Dijon mustard it was delicious! Excellent!

My fave way is chicken, mayo, s&p, tarragon, slivered almonds, and dried cranberries ❤

My recommendation: make your own mayo. I love mayo. And since I've learned how to make mayo, I always make my own now. It's sooooooooo much better. And there's no soybean oil in it like 99% of the store bought mayo. I prefer using olive oil. Same for salad dressings. I make my own, for example, you can use some of your homemade mayo and sour cream to make ranch dressing. So much better.

Rinse fine chopped onions in cold water and dab them dry with a paper towel. Takes some of the bitter sharpness out of the raw onion so you can use more!

I always add in chopped crisp bacon, scallions, celery, lemon pepper seasoning a tiny b it of sugar, parsley, s & p to my shredded chicken with a sprinklin of chives. Mayo, sour cream and a dollop of ranch dressing completes it. My family fights for the last bit.. yum! Real tasty...try it!

That curry powder version sounds like Coronation chicken salad (I believe it was first ‘invented’ for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation— but that could just be a rumour 😊). I can’t wait to try it!

The sauce sounds great; will have to try it. Learned a while ago it's best to make the sauce separately so one can test the taste and adjust accordingly (I'm a guy so am dumb; took me awhile to figure that one out.)

I like mine with some thinly-sliced celery and cranberries to add body and crunch.

@ytugtbk

@

Gonna try this in the food processor!

I make about 5 versions of chicken salad. Often I add some cooked pasta to make it a complete meal. My mom's which has celery and sweet pickle, an apple, celery, walnut one with some bleu cheese, one with cucumber, tomatoes and black olives, one with grapes, slivered almonds and diced Swiss and my husband's favorite which has Mandarin oranges, feta and red onion.

@samtucker8987

@ellenhamilton2787

@cathybrewton6572

Adding some of the chicken broth is a Great idea 🙌

@palomahealing5073

@

Wow!! I've gotta make this one, on the more plain side, but it's wonderful❤️ And change up from the Tuna salad a little bit? Thanx for sharing..

@palomahealing5073

Your salad looks really good. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on smoking the chicken before final prep? (and retain the moisture) I've had smoked chicken salad in the past and it was so good.
