Deluxe Honey Pecan Chicken Salad
by Debbie Quimby from Vicksburg, MS
We could eat this chicken salad for lunch every day. It’s that good. Sweet, with just a hint of tang, the dressing is delicious. When the dressing is mixed with the chopped chicken breast, pecans, grapes, and dried cranberries, it’s a wonderful bite. Serve in lettuce cups, as a sandwich, or just enjoy this chicken salad right from the bowl. It’s light and refreshing for summer. Click here for the recipe.
Orange Chicken Salad
by CC McCart-Frost from Guatay, CA
Filled with citrus flavor, this orange chicken salad is a delicious option for a lighter meal. Cooking the rice with orange peel gives a slight orange flavor to the rice. Using orange segments in the salad and juice in the vinaigrette pumps up the orange flavor. When you get bits of the roasted cashews, they’re a nice crunch. Baked or grilled chicken breasts can be used in this recipe, or pick up a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket. Light and sweet, the vinaigrette dressing would be great on a green salad, too. Here’s the recipe.
Kat’s Southwest Chicken Salad
by Kathleen Hagood from Gorman, TX
This chicken salad sandwich is incredible! The chicken is tender and smoky. Onion and bell pepper add sweetness and crunch. Cilantro and olives bring a touch of fresh flavor and saltiness, while chipotle peppers and jalapenos add heat and smokiness. Held together with just enough creamy mayonnaise, the chicken salad has a burst of flavor and texture in every bite. Pineapple slices add a tropical feel and balance the spices. Hard rolls are sturdy enough to hold the filling without making the bread soggy. This chicken salad is great for a picnic, potluck, lunch, or dinner. Spicy and satisfying, you’ll love this chicken salad. Click here for the recipe.
Chicken Salad Waldorf Wannabe
by Janette Suber from Sale City, GA
Wow, this chicken salad is full of flavor! It’s creamy and chunky but light and refreshing. The mayonnaise blends the salad together by making it creamy and enhancing the flavors of the ingredients. There are savory chunks of chicken, the satisfying crunch of walnuts, and bursts of sweetness thanks to the grapes and apples. We opted to use both green and red grapes for a little color. Enjoy this as a sandwich or a scoop on top of a bed of lettuce. A delicious lighter meal for a spring or summer day. Here’s the recipe.
