Delicious Chicken Salad

"Creamy Chicken Salad with walnuts, grapes and water chestnuts and lots more. This was made after we made a chicken in the crock-pot and had a lot of left overs. I looked a number of chicken salad recipes and none had all the ingredients I wanted. So I decide to experiment and this is what I came up with. I admit the spices and herbs are estimates as I just eyeballed how much I put in. So feel free to adjust to your tastes."

directions

  • diced chicken in small cubes and place in large mixing bowl.
  • finely dice red onion, hard boiled egg and celery.
  • if you did not buy the chopped walnuts then chop them now.
  • quarter the red grapes and quarter the water chestnut slices.
  • add all ingredients to the large mixing bowl.
  • add the diced water chestnuts, chopped walnuts and relish (I prefer the sweet pickle relish cubes). and shredded Parmesan cheese not grated.
  • in separate bowl mix the mayonnaise, organic sour cream and all herbs and spices and mix well.
  • add the dressing mix in the dry ingredients until it is to the desired consistency/moistness you prefer. I used all the dressing and it was perfect for me but you may prefer a less moist salad.
  • refrigerate for at least an hour for best flavor.
  • serve on large bakery crescent rolls or bread of your choice.

  1. So good! I couldn't wait to try this. I made it tonight so I could bring it for my lunch tomorrow. I love the grapes, water chestnuts, walnuts, mayo mixture, etc... The only change I'll make next time is to add a bit less seasoned salt. It's delicious and I'm excited for my lunch. I think I'll serve it over lettuce. Note: I quartered the recipe and it still made a lot.
     
  2. This was different and delicious! There are so many exciting elements and together each bite offered something special. I loved the addition of the crunch of water chestnuts, the shredded parmesan and the herbs. I served with crescent rolls and will definitely make this again. Discovered during Spring 2014 Pick A Chef.
     
  3. Fantastic! I used some leftover roasted chicken and made as directed except that I omitted the water chestnuts as I didn't have any on hand. Simple and delish. It made a wonderful sandwich too. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper. Made for Spring PAC 2014.
