Tomatoes– freshly diced

FAQs

How do you keep chicken salad from getting watery?

If you are not serving this chicken salad immediately after serving, then wait to add the freshly diced fruits and vegetables until ready to serve.

How do you fix too much mayo in chicken salad?

You would just have to add a little more chicken or extra ingredients!

Chicken salad is good for you because it is loaded with healthy proteins and fats. In addition to the nutrient dense apples and pears, this chicken salad is homemade and does not contain any extra addictives.

      Hi Rebekah!

      We keep chicken salad on rotation here. Now that fall is coming, it will become turkey salad. I love your board that you created for me. Thank you so much. I have to keep it hidden from the family though. Let me know what you make. The last one was my favorite out of the two new ones.
