This Chicken Salad Spread Recipe is a quick and versatile recipe for a chicken salad that can be served on mixed greens as a salad or on bread as a sandwich.
Try using a rotisserie chicken from the market for the cooked chicken - you can save any leftovers for another dish or double this recipe to feed a crowd.
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup mayonnaise, regular or low fat
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Gently combine all the ingredients and season with the kosher salt and black pepper. Use a half-cup portion on a bed of lettuce or mixed greens or for a chicken salad sandwich.
Serves 4
Food For Thought - Add a little zing with a few dashes of hot sauce such as Tabasco. Adding 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the mayonnaise will give it an extra bit of flavor.
