CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE
Buttermilk dressing,macaroni,grapes,almonds and water chestnuts give chicken salad a new twist. Given to me by a dear friend, this is delish! This serves 20! Due to the chill times, prep and cook times do not include overnight chill. If you are unable to find Beau Monde(by Spice Islands) at your grocery store, it is available online. It's a great all around spice that I bought after tagging recipe #184001.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic chicken for the best flavor and texture. Look for mayonnaise made with avocado oil or olive oil for a healthier option.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Chop the chicken into small pieces: This will make it easier to eat and mix with the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of mix-ins: The possibilities are endless! Some popular options include celery, grapes, nuts, and hard-boiled eggs.
- Season the salad to taste: Use salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a dollop of mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice for a little extra flavor.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
- Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or greens: This will add a fresh and crunchy element to the dish.
