Introduction

It’s so hard to get a homemade recipe for chicken salad if you ask people. Everyone always says “well…I don’t know…I never measure when I make it.” I always hate when people tell me that lol but I find myself saying the same thing. It really is one of those recipe that you just throw how much of each ingredient in that you like. I’ve been getting so many request for it, I thought I’d make it and try to write down everything I put in it. It’s so hard to get a homemade recipe for chicken salad if you ask people.

Tips

I did not add hard boiled eggs to mine and used only 1 cup light mayo because of the no eggs in it. If you add 1-3/4 cup mayo you will have soupy chicken salad.
