I am from New Orleans . My grandma usually makes the chicken salad, every one loves her chicken salad.





She boils 4 small hens / chickens


once they are done boiling she cuts green onion, white onion and cajun seasonings


then she shreds the chickens by hand, into small pieces


she then mix Blue Plate Mayonnaise with the onions and seasonings


she adds the chicken with salt pepper and a little bit of cayenne pepper.





she then refrigerates the chicken salad over night .


she said it tastes much better, because the ingredients expel when refrigerated.

Here is my favorite recipe. I use it at the Ranch house for a quick sandwich.

celvery mayo oion chicken salad
I dice my cooked chicken, add cooked and cooled cheese tortellini, and pour bottled Italian dressing (fat free works best for this recipe, as it doesn't separate) over it. Sometimes I add a little Parmesan cheese, too. Chill a couple of hours so the flavors have a chance to blend a little, then serve.
I like grapes halved and almond slivers. I usually mix up my veggies with this one. Sometimes celery, onion, whatever! I also occasionally like water chestnuts in there.
Hellman's mayo, you're my hero! try adding green grapes and we like less mayo and a little sour cream
no one in my family likes mayo or miracle whip, so here is our chicken salad recipe, from 1945.





4 cups of cooked (boiled) chicken


1/2 cup of sour cream


2 cups of chopped celery


2 tsp of finely diced onion


1/2 package of softened cream cheese


1 cup finely diced mushrooms any variety you like


salt and pepper to taste





we make sandwiches out of it, or serve it on home made crackers. ENJOY
Sounds really good ex the walnuts.





I poach chicken breast and let them cool, then I shred them by hand, this add some texture to the salad. Hellman's is ok, but I use miracle whip, maybe a mix of the two. Salt, pepper, garlic POWDER, not salt. and I add a teaspoon of sugar. Mix it up then I add some parsley flakes (dry) It is a clean looking salad and it is very good also, sometimes I use craisins in it. Let it chill for a while in the fridge before eating. Better the next day too.
