Chicken Salad

I can never find a good chicken salad recipe that has flavor and isn't bland or runny, so with the help of my husbands taste-buds I developed this recipe.  The flavor is stunning and you can adjust the liquid ingredients to your desired "wetness". You really want to make this at least 1 day in advance so the flavor can develop properly.   This is a great hit with my senior clients as well as at parties and showers for friends.  Everyone loves a good chicken salad!



Chicken Salad

1 whole roasted chicken shredded/diced (about 4-5 cups)
4 celery ribs diced very fine
4 green onion, white and green parts minced ( like to cut these with my herb scissors-so easy!)
3/4-1 cup mayonnaise
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
4 table spoons fresh parsley leaves
1/4 - 1/2 cup dill relish
salt to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl an refrigerate overnight before serving.  This is excellent in mini croissants for baby showers and wedding showers, or any other party that needs a specially elegant dish.
