[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a food snob and love chicken salad.  But not just any chicken salad and definitely not anything from a grocery store deli. Don’t make your Grandma’s chicken salad that is heavy on the mayo and grapes.

Mine is: seasoned and roasted chicken breasted, diced.  
The mix ins vary..I usually do a dried fruit, fresh herbs, celery, nuts.  My fav variation is adding chopped dried figs, celery, parsley or tarragon, and toasted sliced almonds.  Dressing is 1 part mayo, 3 parts Greek yogurt, then thin with half and half or whole milk.  Salt and pepper and curry powder. There isn’t much mayo at all in it and I only put a light coating of dressing on it.  Just so it is coated, but not soaked.

If wanting more tradional, I’d use dried cherries, parsley and walnuts. Dressing same ratios, but no curry. Add a bit of brown sugar and Dijon instead.

Serve with good croissants (no costco or grocery store) and a green salad.  Plus a side of simple roasted potatoes and sliced fruit. [/quote]

Snob is right.
