Chicken Salad (NOT a salad w/chicken)

[Napoleon]

What's your favorite way to make old time chicken salad?

I'm going to go with some celery, walnuts, grapes, and maybe a bit of green onions for tomorrow. Mayo & something like a mix between sour cream and cream cheese (because I couldn't find either) and a bit of salt & pepper. I'm considering a dab of mustard, but I don't know.

I'm making lunch for myself and a little lady, so I kind of want something a little interesting. I think that down here, the grapes will be a mind-blowing addition.

I also like curry with raisins, but not this time.

Any other preferred twists?

tarragon

 

[DoobieWah]

Jalapenos or other pepper. Not enough to make it torturous, just flavorful.

 

[Texanne]

Homemade mayonnaise, celery, grapes, pecans and diced Braeburn apple. On multi-grain or sweetberry bread.

Damn, now I've gone and made myself hungry ...

dried cranberries/craisans...

pickles

I kind of followed these two recipes and then added a few twists.

hate to admit it, but for chicken salad, my favorite "recipe" is to go to Spec's, head to the deli section, and buy a quart or two.
