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
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.

Steps:
- To make dressing: In a food processor, process everything except the oil.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil until emulsified.
- Scrape into a bowl and wait for half an hour for the flavours to develop.
- To make salad: Toss all together, dress with just enough dressing to moisten and flavor, and garnish with scallions, red bell pepper and peanuts.
- Serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin and bones before shredding the meat.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding.
- 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.
Conclusion:
Chicken salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're serving it on a sandwich, in a wrap, or as a dip, this recipe is sure to be a hit. With its bright, tangy flavors and creamy texture, this chicken salad is a perfect meal for any occasion.
