If you have been reading this blog for a while you know that I am ALWAYS trying to find a yummy chicken salad recipe. I keep finding ones that are better and better so of course I have to post them so that all of you may try them too! (In fact, I have another I’ll be posting in a few weeks that is a different version of chicken salad.)

I believe that so far, for just a good ol’ chicken salad sandwich Ina Garten’s recipe and this one are our two faves. This one I had for the first time a few months ago at a Relief Society activity and I seriously loved them. So yummy! When we did C’s baby blessing a few weeks ago I made these to serve to our family and friends for lunch and I think it went over quite well.

My biggest thing about chicken salad is that I don’t like a lot of stuff dumped into it. Please don’t add the whole list, walnuts, grapes, sunflower seeds, celery, water chestnuts, raisins and tomatoes. Good mercy, that’s just getting a little too ridiculous, plus we don’t really like the celery and walnuts in it. Cashews would at least be a little better, but WALNUTS? Geez, the flavors don’t go well together in my opinion.

The best thing about this version is it has that sweet and juicy *pop* from the grapes and the romaine lettuce take the place of the celery so it still has a little crunch to it.

I pretty much love that these are perfect for a quick meal for the fam for lunch or dinner or a great crowd pleaser when you have more people over.

How Long Will Chicken Salad Keep?

When stored properly, chicken salad can be kept for up to 5 days.

Store chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can Croissants Be Frozen?

Yes, wrap croissants tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag.

They will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer.

Are Grapes Good For You?
