I love chicken salad, so simple, so easy, and so good! I have many variations that I adore but my go to is my Classic Chicken Salad. Ingredient preferences for chicken salad varies and quite personal with endless flavor combinations. Try toasted almonds, sliced grapes, green onion, boiled eggs, pineapple, or bell pepper. Dabble with a variety of seasonings, tarragon, salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes for a bit of spice? Serve solo, in a wrap, lettuce leaf, or your favorite bread. Top with bacon, sliced tomato, sliced avocado…yum!! Enjoy!
