Fairfield Grocery's Chicken Salad

"I had this at our office Thanksgiving potluck yesterday - it's so good! My preferred chicken salad has always been super, super simple - chicken, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt - not really a big fan of grapes, pecans or apples in chicken salad. Everyone at work enjoyed this recipe, and my co-worker told me it was a Southern Living recipe."

  1. I made this for potluck luncheon with my Master Gardner's group in 2011. It was such a big hit that I fixed it for my fussy family... they loved it! This is my go to chicken salad and it's always a crowd pleaser!
