Default Chicken Salad--Best You Will Have Ever Eaten!!!!

CHICKEN SALAD
2 1/2 Cups cooked chicken, diced--(can use well drained canned chicken) Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to cooked chicken.
1 Cup seedless grapes-quartered (I like green & purple for the added color)
1/2 Cup almonds, slivered or chopped
1 Cup salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
1/2 Cup whipping cream (I use the whole 1/2 pint container)--when whipping I add one teaspoon powdered sugar & 1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons parsley Flakes--finely crushed
1 Apple--cored & chopped
1/2 Cup sweet relish
1/2 Cup onion--diced (optional)
1/2 Cup celery--diced (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste (I don't use any)

Mix all ingredients together adding the whipped cream last. Put in refrigerator and chill. (you can eat this as soon as made, but, I prefer it cold) Serve on bread or I prefer on Ritz Crackers.

This makes a large amount so you can share with a friend or neighbor, as I usually do. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. This is one of my favorite summer time foods.
If you have any questions, please PM me. Vonda

Yum! I love grapes and almonds in chicken salad! My mom added pineapple also. I'll have to give this a try.

*** Sounds good (will try it) for everything but the MIRACLE WHIP ( hate the taste ).
***
*** In the SOUTH we have DUKE'S mayonnaise that has its own unique flavor (made in Greenville, SC).
***
*** A true SOUTHERNER will use nothing else.

I love chicken salad, and reall like grapes and nuts in it. And since I am a Midwest gal I will definitely use the Miracle Whip! Thanks so much for sharing, I will try this very soon. Besides a sandwich, I like to eat it on the top of a nice lettuce salad or in the middle of a home grown tomato..... oh man, I am getting pretty hungry!!
