Customizable creamy chicken salad (for sandwiches)
Because I married the world’s biggest chicken-eater, I have to be creative when I make chicken salad sandwiches. Let’s just say they can get boring pretty fast. After trying a million different variations on the theme, I realized that it’s best not to mess with a classic.
Here’s my classic chicken salad recipe (I replaced half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version) and ideas for additional ingredients to customize the recipe to your liking.
