I had a couple of friends over for lunch and decided to make Chicken Salad. I, unfortunately, can’t have the Croissants but it’s still great on it’s own, over a salad or on gluten free bread! This makes a LOT! Roughly 6 sandwiches, so if you’re not serving a crowd I’d halve the recipe.
Cherry Chicken Salad
• 4 C Chicken; cooked and diced or shredded
• 1/2 C Celery; chopped
• 1/2 C Onion; chopped
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Mustard Powder
• 1/2 tsp White Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Celery Salt
• 1/2 C Walnuts; toasted and chopped
• 1/4 C Apple; chopped
• 1/4 C Dried Cherries
• 1 – 1 1/2 C Mayo
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 6 Croissants (or gluten free bread)
• 2 Tomatoes; thinly sliced
• 6 Lettuce Leaves
• 1/2 C Onion; thinly sliced
1. Chill cooked chicken in fridge (or freezer if rushed) until cool.
2. Add everything to a large bowl and toss until evenly distributed.
3. Spread over Croissants or bread and top with lettuce, tomatoes and onion.
4. Serve with chips, a side salad, Potato Salad or Macaroni Salad.
