image from FlickrDo you love Chicken Salad? Are you picky about what is in it? I made my favorite this morning and can't wait to bite into it. I start with Rotisserie Chicken from the market ( or home roasted chicken, if I have some), always add celery for crunch, some fresh tarragon ( in season), mayonnaise and my favorite addition....dried cranberries. I don't bother to plump them, I like the chewy texture they add. Sometimes I add a very small amount of finely diced red onion and / or sliced almonds. Right now I just have Cocoa Roasted almonds and although they are delicious for a snack I don't think they would too compatible with chicken, lol. Maybe for dessert.
Now for the dilemma...a sandwich on a nice Salaio bread (which is some kind of rustic Italian type bread) or over some mixed greens?
Later,

Your chicken salad sounds great! Sometimes I add red grapes sliced in half, or a sweet/tart crispy apple cut into small bite size pieces. And usually toasted walnut or pecan pieces.
ReplyDeleteyummy. my fave is thyme in place of tarragon. so are you taunting us with savories while we await the next installment? i'm now thinking about morning pastries with those chocoalmonds instead of boning up on my riviera lore.. . . jkj
ReplyDeleteSounds great...and don't you just LOVE those cocoa roasted almonds? I can't keep them in the house...too tempting!
