BEST CHICKEN SALAD EVER

This recipe uses canned chicken, but if you want to use leftover chunked chicken or turkey, it 's even better. A dab of sweet relish is a nice taste surprise, and we love the apples, pecans, and raisins. The creamy salad dressing finishes it off nicely.

PEANUT-LIME VINAIGRETTE



Peanut-Lime Vinaigrette image

This is my variation of the vinaigrette from Recipe #31110. I used peanut oil instead of canola and sesame oil because I like the flavour. I also added a bit more sugar because I tend to lean toward sweeter things. If you'd prefer less sweetness cut the sugar by half.

  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your chicken salad will taste. Use ripe fruit and vegetables, and choose herbs and spices that you love.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to make chicken salad. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or variations. For example, you could add chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or a handful of dried cranberries.
