Chicken Salad Recipe

The chicken salad recipe dates back to more than one hundred years ago.  This was seen as an easy way to feed many people at social events.  The ingredient list has evolved somewhat over time. 

However, the mixture generally consists of cooked chicken, a dressing, and some additional ingredients for flavor and texture.  Traditional chicken salad recipes call for pickled relish, celery, or lettuce.

This is easily served with sandwiches or crackers.  It is versatile enough to serve for lunch, a snack, or an appetizer.  Create unique variations by adding almonds, fruit, feta cheese, or curry.

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
1 stalk celery, chopped
