How long is Chicken Salad good?
It is good for 3-5 days. I like to make it on Sunday and have it for lunch all week.
When I first made this salad for my grandma (the one that made the potato salad), she told me that sounded terrible and she didn’t want any. I made her try it and she loved it. She was just an old dog who wanted nothing to do with new tricks. I would recommend trying this new trick and so would she.
Looking for more great salads?
Fruit and Chicken Salad
Chicken and Fruit Salad is a light salad that is great for spring and summer. With grapes and apples, it a bit sweet and a whole lot of goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 Red apple, cubed
- 1/2 Green apple, cubed
- 5 small chicken breast halves, cooked and cubed
- 1/2 bunch of red or green grapes, halved
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley, optional
- 1/4 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup celery
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix mayo & vinegar.
- Mix remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
- Pour mayo mixture over salad and stir.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Enjoy
Notes
Sometimes I will use smoked chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to save time.
