This classic chicken salad is a Southern lunch staple, but it is also fitting for afternoon teas or book clubs. The recipe was inspired by a favorite dish served at the former Sweetbriar restaurant in Gadsden, Alabama.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 1 bowl, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 gala apples (use can always use another kind...but then it wont be Gala Chicken Salad)
2/3 cup celery
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (or reg, I just love the taste of koher)
1/4 tablespoon pepper
1 lemon, juice of
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I usually use light)

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large bowl.
  • Dice the apple into small pieces (the smaller the better).
  • Dice the celery just as small and add the apples celery and almonds to the chicken.
  • Mix in the salt and pepper and lemon juice.
  • Add the mayo with a large spoon and mix until the chicken is evenly covered.
  • I know this is hard to do -- but cover and leave overnight. The flavors will mix well together in the fridge.
  • You can eat it the day it's made, it just might have a little strong lemon taste -- that mixes overnight and blends well.
  • You can always add cranberries or rasins if you want, but I like it just as is.
  • Enjoy!
