Ingredients
-
2 cups diced cooked chicken
-
1 gala apples (use can always use another kind...but then it wont be Gala Chicken Salad)
-
2/3 cup celery
-
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (or reg, I just love the taste of koher)
-
1/4 tablespoon pepper
-
1 lemon, juice of
-
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I usually use light)
-
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a large bowl.
- Dice the apple into small pieces (the smaller the better).
- Dice the celery just as small and add the apples celery and almonds to the chicken.
- Mix in the salt and pepper and lemon juice.
- Add the mayo with a large spoon and mix until the chicken is evenly covered.
- I know this is hard to do -- but cover and leave overnight. The flavors will mix well together in the fridge.
- You can eat it the day it's made, it just might have a little strong lemon taste -- that mixes overnight and blends well.
- You can always add cranberries or rasins if you want, but I like it just as is.
- Enjoy!
