16 Chicken Salad Recipes

“Back in the early 2000’s I went out to eat with my Grandpa Klepper, and he was telling me about a chicken salad sandwich that he had fallen in love with and wanted me to try it, so I did. I thought to myself, I could so make this ten times cheaper and than what it would cost to buy just one sandwich. So I looked over the salad and determined that I had most of the ingredients in my own kitchen and I could venture out and make my own. I am so glad I did, now it’s a HUGE hit with family and friends. I even made this for my own wedding reception dinner and got rave reviews. Enjoy!” – Elizabeth
