There are literally hundreds of ways to make chicken salad, and they are all delicious. But this easy and delicious chicken salad recipe is my go to each time I make chicken salad.

Chicken salad is the perfect summer time meal. It’s so versatile as well, you can serve it as a sandwich or as a dip with crackers or pita chips. It also pairs great with my homemade artisan bread.

No matter what you choose to add, it all starts with the chicken. I use canned chicken most of the time. I will buy canned chicken in bulk, that way I can pretty much make this anytime I want. If I have time I will boil chicken breast ahead of time and shred. Back when we raised chicken for meat, I would make this chicken salad with fresh chicken. That was my absolute favorite chicken to use. You really can’t beat farm fresh chicken.

Next prepare all the ingredients you are going to add. For this recipe I add grapes, apples, celery and dried craberries.

Once those are chopped up add it to your bowl of chicken with the cranberries.

Next comes about 2 squirts of mustard.

A half cup of mayonnaise.

Stir that all together. I always have my trusty wooden spoon.

When you are done, it should look like this.

That’s it! Very easy! Take this to your summer cookout for an easy and impressive recipe. How to serve it up can also be a simple or elaborate as you wish.

I try to always have the ingredients for this chicken salad on hand. That way, I can whip up an impressive sandwich in no time. I don’t know how many times we have had impromptu guests for dinner and I was so glad to have this chicken salad on hand. I typically serve it as a dip with chips or veggies and bread. It’s a hit every time.

Whenever I do a charcuterie style meal, I always add this chicken salad to the menu. My kids love charcuterie meals. There is just something about food being thrown out on a surface that makes a meal so much more fun!
