I fell in love with chicken salad when I was pregnant with Eric, and still eat it about once a month! This isn't an exact recipe - make the sauce and add whatever else you want! The sauce recipe is courtesy of the Crofts cousins.
Sauce:
1/2 C mayo
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 t dry ranch dressing
1 T lemon juice
2 T chopped parsley
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1 C chopped green onions
mix, then add whatever you want of the following:
-a can or 2 of cooked chicken, drained or some cooked chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
-cooked pasta (I like the tube shapes or corkscrew or smaller pastas - NOT spaghetti)
-can pineapple, drained
-can mandarin oranges, drained (add very last, they fall apart if stirred for long)
-2 C grapes, cut in 1/2 (we prefer purple)
-apple, cut into bite-sized pieces
-celery, cut into small pieces
-nuts
Serve as is (with or without pasta), on a croissant or bread, or on lettuce. It is best cold, and within the first 24 hours or so.
