I bought Costco's chicken salad about 6 months ago- not sure what I was thinking because I was the only one going to eat it. I had sandwiches for lunch.... and dinner...... and breakfast :/ By the time I finished it, I never wanted to hear of chicken salad sandwiches again! But time heals all, and the other night I had ONE at a meeting I attended. They were delicious. I decided to post them today to prove I have fully recovered from my overdose!
RECIPE
1 C. mayonnaise
2 TBL lemon juice
1 TBL minced green onion
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 C. finely grated cheddar cheese
2 C. cooked chicken breast, diced
1/2 C. chopped celery
1/2 C. slivered almonds OR pecans
1/2 C. craisins OR fresh grapes cut in half
* Mix everything together and let it refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. Put it with croissant rolls or fresh toasted bread.

Tips:
- I cut the green onion (lengthwise) into four strips, then chopped it.
- Add (up to) another 1/2 C. cooked chicken if you like your salad more 'dry'.
- It does taste better if you let it sit for a couple hours- if you don't have time to wait, just know the mayonnaise flavor will be a little stronger. Use a good quality mayonnaise- Best Foods is my favorite brand.
