It's got chicken, but it also has a few surprise tastes in there as well!
I tore into another rotisserie chicken (cheap cheap cheap). Removed the skin and tore into chunks. I also started dicing...
1 Granny Smith Apple - Gives a little crunch, as well as the tartness of the apple.
10 Sweet Gherkin Pickles - So much better than relish. The sweet pickles contrast so well with the apple.
1 small Vidallia Onion - Be sure to use a sweet onion. I happened to find one of the real ones in the store.
20 seedless Grapes - It's the taste of the grapes that really set this apart!
Mayonnaise - real Mayonnaise - but do not add too much. You want a thin coating, and a taste, but you do not want the Mayonnaise to overpower all the other tastes.
Notice that there is no celery... that is just filler, and adds nothing to the tastes (in my humble opinion)....
Bake a few loafs of bread, ziplock a few sandwiches, hire a boat to take you out to the British Virgin Islands and you have a great snack when you come in from snorkeling.
Can do! Well, all except for the British Virgin Islands part.
ReplyDeleteI like this sweet and salty mix. Grapes in chicken salad are a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteWell done, this salad look super good!
ReplyDeleteI love apples in salad - I add them to coleslaw all the time! The grapes would be a great addition...and I may add some sort of nut if I was to make this. Love the turtle!
ReplyDeleteI love chicken salad sandwiches! And I love getting rotisserie chickens to make them. I make mine very similar to you, but I have to admit, I do like celery. Like the flavor and the crunch. I hope your next post doesn't include Turtle Chicken Sandwiches. ;-) All kidding aside, great little photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a secret anymore! Heh. Looks great, I love apples in chicken salad.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you gave away your super secret chicken salad recipe! It sounds perfect (except I'd add in that celery you left out)
ReplyDeleteyou can never have too many uses for rotiserie chicken. i like thsi one :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, by the time you get back to the mainland, you could write a book of 101 uses for rotisserie chicken! Keep up the fun work!
ReplyDeleteYeah, why do we eat celery anyway... no taste at all LOL but it does add a nice crunch to things. I've always liked grapes in chicken salad.
ReplyDeleteI happened upon your blog somehow, and actually went to the store and bought a rotisserie chicken yesterday JUST so I could make this! Soooo good! I've been looking for a good chicken salad recipe for years, and this tops everything I've tried. This afternoon I tried it with cranberry sauce spread on the bread. Yum! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteOh I do like the idea of adding grapes to chicken salad. What a refreshing idea! I'd love to go snorkeling down there too just for the photo opportunities :)
