Linda’s Chicken Salad

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Sometimes simple recipes made with good ingredients just can’t be improved upon, and this recipe Linda's Chicken Salad can't be beat for a great basic chicken salad recipe - sometimes the simplest things can't be beat! for Linda’s chicken salad is just like that.

It’s a very easy recipe and if you use great ingredients, it makes the best basic chicken salad around! As the name implies, I got the recipe from Linda.

Linda is a retired Home Economics teacher that now has her own catering business to have “fun” in retirement.

We met because we both volunteer at a local farm (Crown Point Ecology Center) that grows organic produce and sells Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares locally.

The farm also contributes lots of fresh produce to the community food banks and runs summer programs for city kids who would otherwise never get to experience a farm.

Anyway, Linda often kindly feeds the volunteers and this is one of the recipes we get to enjoy. I quickly learned to pay attention when a former Home Economics teacher says a recipe is good!

Linda’s chicken salad is now my “go-to” recipe for any time I want to serve a great chicken salad sandwich or a chicken salad plate.

Linda's chicken salad

For sandwiches, it’s awesome on croissants (that’s often how Linda serves it when catering) or it’s good on any natural bread. For a salad plate, serving it on some crisp, fresh lettuce is all it takes.

So, take a Home Economics teachers advice and try this chicken salad!
