I wanna make some chicken salad, and I have had some before with apples in it, but I have never made any that way.
Does anyone here have any chicken salad recipes?

Are you looking to make chk salad for sandwich filler (ie. like tuna salad)?
Or more like a warm chicken salad on a bed of greens?
The first one sounds real good, I might try that one.Originally Posted by Pookie-poo
I make a chicken salad with apples. I don't really have exact amounts that I use but the ingredient list is as follows:
Approximately even amounts of:
Cubed cooked white meat chicken
Tart apple cut into pieces (I like Macintosh apples)
Red grapes - cut in 1/2
Thinly sliced celery
Romaine lettuce pieces
add some pecan pieces and mayo to glue it together
This is good as a stand alone salad, wrapped in flat bread or eaten on regular bread. This makes a really nice summer dinner salad.
I also have a yummy hot chicken salad recipe:
2 cups cooked white meat chicken - cubed
1 cup celery chopped
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 cup slivered almonds
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 package toasted croutons
8 oz mayo (+/- to taste)
2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Lightly mix all ingredients except 1/2 cup swiss cheese. Place in baking pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with remaining cheese. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, until bubbly. Enjoy!

Them sound good too, my husband would like that, he loves mushrooms, I don't like them myself. And we love to eat fish too.Originally Posted by Fred&Nermal
I got this one from Epicurious. I haven't made it myself, but it got good reviews. One viewer said to cut back on the vinegar.
4 cups cubed (1/2 inch) cooked chicken (about 1 3/4 lb)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 celery rib, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (1 cup)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 cups halved seedless red grapes
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
I often make a chk. salad like this (but it may not be what you're looking for)
Cooked chk
salad greens
portabello mushrooms
red peppers
red onions
black olives, optional (fresh, not canned)
walnuts pieces, optional
Olive oil
garlic clove chopped up
Dressing:
1/2 olive oil
1/2 wine vinegar
salt and pepper
a bit of parmesan
chopped herbs if you have them
I fry the peppers, portabello mushrooms, red onions, walnuts, garlic and olives in olive oil until everything looks cooked (not over-cooked, just not raw).
I then put this stuff on the greens. I slice the chicken length-wise and put it on the greens, etc. Then I pour on the dressing.
Depending what I have in the fridge, I mix it up a bit. I even make a salad similiar to this with grilled fish and a soya&sesame and veg. oil dressing. For the fish salad I wouldn't put the olives in and would substitute the portabello mushrooms with button mushrooms.
I know I will, I love to watch Paula Dean, I wish I could eat something that she cooked, maybe I will go to one of her shows where she cooks. I will hafta find her first.Originally Posted by Miagi's_Mommy
this isn't for a sandwich, but I have tried it a few times and could eat it all the time if possible!
