I don't know many men who eat chicken salad.[/quote]

So stupid. Men eat chicken salad.[/quote]

Did I say no men do? It's 2 sentences, how did you get so confused?[/quote]

NP. Your comment definitely implied that most men don’t eat chicken salad, so you can drop the shocked pikachu reaction.[/quote]

The ones I know don't. Can you read at all? When there's a sandwich spread almost zero men I've known grab the chicken salad. Some may go for tuna salad. Now tell us about allll the men in your life who just love chicken salad? How old are they first of all?[/quote]

DP. My husband, age 55, almost always orders the chicken salad if it’s on a menu. Loves it. (I don’t.)

Coworker, late 30s, loves the restaurant Chicken Salad Chick so much, he felt the need to tell us all about it during a staff meeting.

When I was in college, I worked at a cafe where the chicken salad was by far the most popular thing on the menu, and lots of men ordered it. [/quote]

Cool. I'm glad some men love it. The ones I know less than 50 tend to care a lot about health and diet and would never eat a fat laden salad on a croissant for a meal. OP needs to know her audience which is why I asked on page one for more info.[/quote]

Oh, now you’re making it all about the fat content? Sure, totally a man thing. [/quote]

Lol. There are tons of reasons to not eat chicken salad. These are just two. But if you think it's the bestest meal in the whole world nobody is going to stop you from serving it. Just accept it can be polarizing.[/quote]

Polarizing to whom? I am not aware of any chicken salad controversy in the general public. [/quote]

It's hysterical how out of touch people on here are.[/quote]

And yet there’s still not a single non-chicken salad recommendation given in this entire thread, except for avocado toast, which I’m pretty sure was a joke.[/quote]

And yet OP didn't ask for a menu or other recommendations. OP asked to discuss this as an option. My guess is OP knew exactly how this would go over on here, like other mayonnaise based salads and dip suggestions go. Because apparently it is news to some that not everyone likes mayo.[/quote]

About 1 in 5 don't like it. So, statistically, it's the safer choice.

https://www.popsci.com/mayonnaise-disgust/[/quote]

To be clear, a mayo-based salad would be acceptable to most people. [/quote]

So, to be clear, you posted an article that says "Mayonnaise is disgusting, and science agrees" in the title and you're like, that's definitely what I plan to serve!

[/quote]

Science found 20% don't like it. So, while the title is stupid, the results are clear. People like mayo.[/quote]

This article is from 2017.  And for some, having an entire salad based on mayonnaise might go beyond the amount of mayonnaise they are willing to tolerate. [/quote]

The entire salad is not BASED on mayo. Mayo is a binder to hold the ingredients together. The first get together I had at my house where I invited the neighbors, I made the curry powder, grape, cashew chicken salad and it was the bomb. It was devoured before the pizzas, and club sandwiches, subs and charcuterie and everyone talked about it. If the grapes are perfectly ripe, it makes it incredible.

Also will the weirdo with the obsession with disease being spread by chicken salad leave the room? Chicken, in and of itself, is a meat that needs to be handled with care but putting it in a salad doesn't make it more dangerous. Also mayo no longer has anything in it that makes it a danger. [/quote]

Let it go. The recipe above calls for 1 CUP of mayonnaise for 2.5 cups of chicken. That's a lot. It's a mayo based salad. Not everyone likes mayonnaise salads with fruit, nuts, and other things in it, so a lot of people would not serve this to a guest they don't eat with often.[/quote]

NP. The recipe that calls for it to be baked? That’s not chicken salad.

But I agree that “let it go” is great advice. Try it. [/quote]

Sorry, but the recipe is titled "chicken salad". Deal with it. [/quote]

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you are genuinely this stupid. If the latter, you have my sympathies.[/quote]

I guess you can't read. It says "hot chicken salad" and you're stomping your feet about it. Hilarious.[/quote]
