Chicken Salads

Chicken Salads

Chicken salad makes for a quick and easy meal. Traditional chicken salad recipes call for mayonnaise while others use a vinaigrette or other salad dressing. You can always use low-fat or fat-free ingredients to lower the calories and make a healthier version! Chicken salad makes a great picnic or backyard bbq food as it can be served alone or on buns for a sandwich. And don't forget you can make hot chicken salad too - the salad that eats like a casserole!
