Chicken Salad can be made in so many ways that you are sure to be able to please just about anyone. The chicken can be roasted, boiled or grilled. You can add purple or green grapes, red or green apples, walnuts or pecans, or a combination of any of these yummy ingredients. Celery can be added or omitted. I am not a big celery fan but my daughter likes it so when I make a batch I split it in half then add the celery to one of the batches. I love chicken salad on a flaky croissant but have also found a new and yummy combination. Chicken salad served on Ritz Everything Crackers. Either way you try it I am sure you will love this recipe. Afiyet olsun!
