Or you can keep it very simple. Chopped onion, celery, and mayo. Add pecans if you like. Mix and eat.

Try using Thai flavours in your chicken salad. Fish sauce, fresh chilli, thai basil, lime juice, and fresh coriander. Balance the flavours to your own palate. Play around. I'm sure you will come up with the best.
I make mine with a little chilli powder and cumin, add chopped granny smith apples or grapes to take the bite out of it. It really is delicious.
Okay, here's something a little different.


Take your cooked chicken breast and dice it into little pieces.


Then take your favorite vegetables and do the same(celery, carrots, onions, radishes, green and red peppers,parsley,etc.).


Now mix it all together in a nice big bowl. Add your mayo, but make sure not to add too much. You want it a little dry, as your vegetables will leak some of their water content. Now add just a little Dijon mustard. Not too much, as you don't want it to be overpowering.


Now here's the twist.


Take some cinnoman, and add enough, (not too much, because it won't take a lot, ), to give your salad that nice aroma and taste of the cinnoman. Now add just a little sugar, to add to the flavor, and a few capers. (You can buy them at your local grocery store, but be careful on how many you add, their pretty sour!)


The best way to serve this is using a pita bread as a pocket, and topping it off with bean sprouts, and green leaf lettuce.


Trust me, you'll love this.


Enjoy!
