Ugly Chicken Salad

During the summer we tend to eat lighter than in the winter. In other words, I am too cheap to turn the air conditioner on. So we eat stuff we can put in a toaster oven and heat up or we have a salad or sandwich. Late last month Liesa Sutton from Sutton Daze and Linda from Linda’s Pantry issued a challenge for us to use what we have in our pantries as much as possible without going out and buying something special. ABSOLUTELY NO CASSEROLES!!! That is the only rule. Here you go. A chicken salad made with everything I already have. The ugly part is because Heather from The Kneady Homesteader doesn’t like home-canned raw chicken. I won’t lie, it’s not that beautiful. 

Ugly Chicken Salad

Ugly chicken canned at home

Celery

Grapes

Salt and Pepper (Or seasoning you and your family like.)

Mayo (I am not brand loyal.)

Equipment

Bowl

Fork

Measuring utensils

Using your fork, shred up the chicken in your bowl. Cut the celery, and grapes into small pieces. 

Now keep in mind your family’s taste is different from mine. So season this as you and your family like. I like my chicken salad little more on the moist side so I used a ½ cup of mayo. This of course will depend on your family. I am the only one that likes chicken salad so I made a small amount. 

This is a recipe so easy and requires so little equipment. Even kids could make this on their own once they learn the recipe. No heavy equipment like a food processor is needed.
