This creamy chicken salad recipe is the best and a family favorite! I like to use leftover roast chicken or baked chicken breasts that have been sprinkled with basil or rosemary. Almonds and celery add a lovely crunch.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup blanched slivered almonds

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat

  • 1 rib celery, chopped

Method

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Place almonds in a frying pan. Toast over medium-high heat, shaking frequently. Watch carefully, as they burn easily.

  3. Mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl.

  4. Toss with chicken, toasted almonds, and celery.

  5. Enjoy!
