This is hands down, the best chicken salad I've ever tasted! It won 1st place in the Taste of Home magazine way back around 1996! It's been a hit at Baby and Bridal showers ever since.
Last week the weather was amazing here, so we ate outside. Garrett had just finished loading up his plate and had set it on the ground. Our dog Jake seized the moment and went straight for the chicken salad! He left everything else alone! Garrett was pretty bummed, but I took it as a compliment! That dog's got taste!
Dog-Gone Good Chicken Salad
4 cups cooked chicken-cubed
1 1/2 cups seedless grapes, halved
1 cup finely chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped green onions
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tb regular mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/8 tsp ground mustard
1/8 tsp paprika
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
In a large bowl combine, chicken, grapes, celery, onions and eggs. In another bowl combine the next 9 ingredients-stir until smooth. Pour over chicken mixture and toss gently. Stir in almonds and serve immediately-or refrigerate and add the almonds just before serving.
Gives you about 6 servings, plus one for the DOG!
