Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise. Look for a brand that is made with fresh, cage-free eggs and uses minimal ingredients.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs and spices to add flavor to your chicken salad. Some good options include parsley, dill, chives, celery seed, and paprika.
- If you are using celery in your chicken salad, be sure to cut it very finely. This will help to prevent the celery from overpowering the other flavors in the salad.
- For a creamy chicken salad, use a food processor to blend the chicken and mayonnaise until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier chicken salad, simply stir the chicken and mayonnaise together until combined.
- Serve your chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or in a croissant or wrap. You can also enjoy it as a dip with crackers or vegetables.
