Fresh chicken is the key to this recipe but canned chicken will work in a pinch.

This was a favorite of my mother's kitchen and I share it with you in her honor.

Quick, easy, and filling

I have loved this since Marshall Fields was still around!

Tis is the very recipe used by Whole Foods Markets when they prepare their yummy chicken salad!

Crunchy celery, almonds and onions combine with bits of chicken in smooth mayonnaise and tangy mustard for an ideal lunch or light dinner sandwich. Avoid the stove, if you like, and use cooked rotisserie chicken, removing the skin and bones of course. Simply purchase a two-pound rotisserie chicken, which will yield about 4 cups of meat.

Lower fat content by using "light" mayo

I like it with apples on the side, but some may choose to put apples in it.
