About Chicken Salads
Chicken salad mixes cooked chicken with crunchy celery, onion or fruit, plus a dressing. The dressing may be creamy with mayonnaise or yogurt, or light with oil and herbs. Poached, roasted or leftover chicken all work.
These salads are the most filling of the group, so they can be a full meal. Green salads are lighter, and grain and pasta salads are built on starches. Chicken salad also works as a sandwich filling.
Questions folks ask
Can I use leftover chicken?
Yes. Leftover roasted or boiled chicken works well.
Can I use yogurt instead of mayonnaise?
Yes. Plain yogurt gives a tangier, lighter dressing.
How long does chicken salad keep?
Keep it covered in the fridge and eat it within a few days.
Kitchen tips
- Chop or shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
- Let the chicken cool before adding the dressing.
- Add celery, grapes or nuts for crunch.
- Chill for a short time so flavors mingle.
- Keep it cold and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
