Chicken Salad

Here is the chicken salad you can turn your leftover roasted chicken into. Or if you don't have leftover roasted chicken, just buy boneless skinless chicken breasts and boil them until they are done.

I can't really give you measurements, because it really depends on how much chicken you have and how you like your chicken salad, but here is what you'll need.

Celery
Red Onion
Garlic
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Chicken
Mustard
Mayo

Here is what I do.

In a mixing bowl add chopped celery and onion, and one small garlic clove minced. Add a little olive oil.

Shred the chicken and add to the mixing bowl. I chop up everything really well because I prefer my chicken salad this way rather than chunky. But if you like it chunky, by all means go for it.

Add the mustard and mayo, salt and pepper. Mix everything together.

Now you just have to taste it and figure out what you're missing. If there isn't enough crunch, add more celery. If it needs a little kick, add more onion. If it's too dry, add a little olive oil and mayo. And of course, and salt and pepper to taste. It's not an exact science, but you can't really screw it up either.

You can eat it as a sandwich on a toasted baguette with sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, and lettuce. Or you can top a salad with it and add a little balsamic.
