Chicken Salad: Boring VS Exciting

So traditional chicken salad is good but it's boring. It's just chicken, onions, celery, mayo, salt pepper and maybe some other spices and such. But I have a great recipe for a exciting chicken salad that adults will love. Some kids might like it, but most probably won't. So here we fo...

Traditional Chicken Salad:

1 lb chicken, med. dice
1/2 an onion, sm. dice
3 stalks ea., sm. dice
2 cups mayo(maybe less, maybe more depends how you like it.
Salt and Pepper to taste

1.) Mix everything. Add more mayo if needed, but add the mayo slowly so you don't add too much. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Curried Grape Chicken salad:

1 lb chicken, shredded
1 cup grapes, halved
1/4 cup peanuts, finely chopped
2 cups mayo
1 tbsp sweet curry
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and Pepper to Taste
2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp parsley, chopped

1.) Mix the mayo, with the curry, sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, mustard, honey and set aside.
2.) Mix the chicken with the grapes, peanuts and parsley.
3.) Slowly pour mayo mixture over chicken mixture until you have the right consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve right away or refrigerate.


I hope you enjoy this original recipe and let me know what you think. Bon appetit Chef Mikey.
