A Quick and Easy Chicken Salad Recipe

This is a simple yet great tasting chicken salad recipe that serves 6 to 8 people. You can serve this chicken dish on a bed of fresh lettuce, eat it between two slices of bread, or eat it with saltine crackers, your choice.

This basic chicken salad is simple, yet still great tasting. What I like best about this basic salad recipe is that you can be creative.

You can easily make this out to be something quite special with the addition of some simple ingredients.

For instance you can add a variety of fruits and nuts (i.e. apples, pineapple, raisins, almond, walnuts, etc) to make the chicken salad more appealing to your taste buds. The choice is yours to make.

This recipe is ideal for a family or social luncheon of six to eight people.

If you don't have this type of crowd to feed, this salad recipe works well for lunch. Just place your leftover salad in a sealed container and you can have chicken salad once or twice more for lunch.
